Dependin on society the word gay can be considered an insult. For some it is for some is not. You can not change societies.

[New Zepuha]

The term's use as a reference to homosexuality may date as early as the late 19th century, but its use gradually increased in the 20th century.

In the Anglosphere, this connotation, among younger speakers, has a derisive meaning equivalent to rubbish or stupid (as in "That's so gay."). In this use, the word does not mean "homosexual", so it can be used, for example, to refer to an inanimate object or abstract concept of which one disapproves. This usage can also refer to weakness or unmanliness. When used in these ways, the extent to which it still retains connotations of homosexuality has been debated and harshly criticized.[4][5]

No, but it can change itself. Society is something that is in constant evolution.

I find it very disturbing if it's used as an insult. I would prefer if people refrained from using it in such a way.

A term becomes insulting when it gets used in an insulting manner. It isn't the kindest thing to refer to something you don't like as "gay". It implies that "gayness" is an inherently undesirable characteristic, which it is not.

It shifted from the 1800s, Faggot and queer to Homo, and currently Gay.

Really?

That's so gay.

Again, implies that "gayness" is inherently undesirable. Identity terms shouldn't be used that way. It's the equivalent of saying "that's so black", which I'm sure only racists would be comfortable with.

[Geilinor]

That's so gay.

That's so conservative.

Well go and tell that to the world and see how many hearts and minds you change.

[The Nihilistic view]

That's so conservative.

Why thank you!

Many people identify their sense of self with the problems they have, or think they have.

LGBT rights are a real problem. Gay people don't "think" that they're facing problems. They are facing problems.

I will say again it depends on the society. In here it has an undesiable characteristics.

You know we keep telling them that, but do Conservatives ever actually listen?

So would you support the use of "that's so black" as a statement? There's nothing inherently different about LGBT rights.

[Macedonian Grand Empire]

LGBT rights are a real problem. Gay people don't "think" that they're facing problems. They are facing problems.

And they are trying to force the general population to think like them. Which is what in my opinion creates all those problems. Not to mention the saying that they are biggots and so on does notting to help them.

Like I said, You think you have a problem with the use of the word in a manner that has been shown above to have a use that has no homosexual connotations. There is no problem other than that which you seek to make.
