[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] "people should stop taking offense when someone calls them gay, because that in turn will lead people to accept gay people as normal, but untill people stop using that term as something derogatory then there can be no true social acceptance for anyone." I'm not saying I agree or disagree, but I should note that "gay" is quite often used over here as an insult (at least amoungst university students). The thing is, it is used by people who are completely non-homophobic, and it's used to describe things that have nothing to do with homosexuality. I've even got a gay friend who uses it. Besides, I have a feeling that the US version of Queer as Folk will be horrible. Watch the UK version. It does occasionally suffer from the "Look! We're gay! We're doing shocking things!", and it also occasionally depicts gay sexual acts that would come under a lot of flack if a similar hetrosexual thing was done, but it's funny. And it has Doctor Who references! Which make it at least 32% better. [/QB][/QUOTE]
