Hypocrisy (IMO I guess)

Who has ever said that (If it was HNM, I totally believe you )? What matters most, I believe, is whether or not that is in the past. If someone says something offensive but later apologizes for it and perhaps rewords it, should you hold a grudge? You should not, because the way you describe feeling in your second paragraph results from it. We should be more forgiving of each other and learn to move on, and then this wouldn't be a problem.

Ok, they might not be an all out attack, but there have been plenty that have been less than just a simple statement. It's kinda like if someone says "Well that's gay." When someone says that, they are probably saying something is stupid and they don't like it. Most the time people say "well that's gay" I don't think they mean "well that is like gays, dumb and I don't like them. I don't like gays, so I'm gonna associate them with things I don't like." I think they are simply using a word that has evolved multiple meanings over time.
1. Happy, joyful
2. Homosexual orientation
3. to show dislike towards something.

But, a lot of people ,not just gays still take offense to someone saying "That's gay."

And second part, yeah I don't like to call names, but it was HNM, and I've seen that statement at least 4 times
