  There seems to be a lot of memes lately where people use the term gay as a pejorative: much to the delight of others. Has Lemmy become more homophobic recently?

    I posted this in the wrong community.

    That being said… I’m gay. The word ‘gay’ meaning a bad thing has kind of come full circle in the gay community itself to an extent. A shocking amount of us will openly call something gay that sucks in a sort of jokingly reclaiming way.

      I don’t mind being called gay; even in negative terms (I mean, aside from the fact they’re being mean). I hate the other one tho. The F word. It’s basically a death threat.
