Not to discredit what anon was saying, but growing up in the 90s and early 2000s "gay" was the given insult at the time so the point where some people still feel weird calling their gay friends gay because of the association with it being an insult :(
more information i didn’t know!
but yeah, i stand by what i said. everyone has different experiences with different slurs, so no one term is going to be perfect.
