No it isn't offensive in itself, and some people may have thicker skin and be able to brush off an insult.

[quote="Armarni" post=1361830][quote="TheXnator" post=1361829][quote="callumok2004" post=1361827]If you think saying "your gay" is offensive, then basically you think being gay is bad. Banning someone for saying that is way over the line.[/quote] This is wrong. If you use gay as an insult you're a homophobe and can kindly fuck off.[/quote] [center]It is not offensive in my opinion i am a proud gay man and have been out since the age of 13 you can see in this use it was clearly a joke[/center][/quote] No it isn't offensive in itself, and some people may have thicker skin and be able to brush off an insult.
