Eep, sorry, I don't want that to distract from the real point of the post! I think it will make sense if you check out the idea behind behind Aherk.

I'm just not interested in listening to somebody that talks like that, whether corrected or not. You might have great ideas or a post or whatever the link was, but it's an immediate turn off for me. Sorry. =)

Oy, really sorry about that. I guess we should take further discussion offline but I'm eager to understand what "like that" means. The word "gay" itself isn't offensive, I assume. I can't help but feel you must've taken it the wrong way. But even if so it was dumb of me to say something so easily misinterpretable.
Btw, the original version of the paragraph in question is included at the very end.
From the website: "UPDATE: I originally referred to it as a “gay photo” which I thought was kosher since I clarified that I was not using “gay” pejoratively nor do I equate “gay” with “compromising”. Sense was quickly knocked into me (thanks everyone!): steer a wide berth around the kinds of things bigots say and don’t rely on wordy explanations to counter a first impression!"
Seriously?
