friend used as=gay slur
friend used as=insult
stop being such a butthurt pusillanimous individual and deal with the fact that words evolve. if a gay person is offended let them be offended, no one gives a stuff anyway. if freddie becomes a word that insults people i won't get insulted unless people are using it against me. jesus, what is is with people and their sensitivity, i remember when kids used to beat the stuff out of each other because of a ruler. now kids are all "awww, that's not politicly correct, waaaaahhhh!" grow the forget up.
