Well clearly "n igga" wasn't meant to be intolerant either. in fact its much less so because the use of it was to mean "my comrade, pal, fellow forum user", while all the uses of "gay" were meant to mean "bad, negative, lame, etc".
So that POV kind of doesn't hold any water. Also,

All that means is we know different people.
Anyway i dont care enough to make it my personal crusade, and i wasn't trying to get anyone to change it. That would just make me a much more unhappy person. But on the topic of people's speech making one uncomfortable, There's my input.
