But keep in mind that the practice of calling someone gay usually does not mean that the utterer ACTUALLY thinks the target is in fact truly gay. It's just a silly term. In high school we called certain buildings that we didn't like "gay." We did not actually think the building was attracted to buildings of its own type.
It's a rather miscellaneous insult used instead of "sissy."

It might not be intended as negative or hurtful, but it is damaging language.

I doubt, however, that many societies will ever stop valuing martial ability; hence, I strongly suspect that being a "sissy" (which, again, should NOT be construed as the same thing as being homosexual, although it often is improperly construed in that way) will always suffer disdain as long as conflicts exist for resources and mates between males: in other words, for the entire vastly long past history and even longer pre-history of the human species (and its predecessors) and for the entire forseeable future.
[Doubly fftopic: Further, I dislike laws that make speech illegal and I believe that they can be abused.]

Unless some big gay guy in a slick suit steals away your spouse & wardrobe.
Nope, stylish. Gay men tend to have a great eye for detail. You may not like some of their clothing choices, but suit to t shirt, tie to jeans, shoes to shoes, they tend to exhibit a greta sense of style in their choices. The little details that make up the whole.Tomasso said:I'd say more fashionable than stylish.
Without doubt, but show me a really well dressed fag today. [huh]reetpleat said:Nope, stylish. Gay men tend to have a great eye for detail.
Glad to hear it, Matt, and I really admire your teachers' suits. Unfortunately, as a student teacher, your suits are a little out of my price range. Perhaps they will not be so in the future once I have an paying job.Matt Deckard said:Well... I make teachers' suits.
I still admire the professional.
Paddy, when I read that the first time, I saw, "Well, I've just buried your mother."PADDY said:. . . one of the smart ass guys in his designer jeans and tee shirt . . . asks with a smarmy half-grin, "You going to a funeral or something?"
To which I reply, "Well, I've just buried my mother..."
Same here in South Carolina. I've been told "nice suit" when wearing khakis and a blue blazer on numerous occasions.Tango Yankee said:Living in southern Ohio I've found that a sport coat, tie, and dress trousers is thought of as a "suit" by many people.
