I’ve seen the insult spelled “ghey”, in order to distinguish it from the normal “gay”. FWIW ---

I don’t need your permission to move the thread, **Anonymous User** , and since you are whining about another forum and calling people tards, I don’t think this is getting moved. I was trying to tell you _all of your Pit threads are boring._ That’s pretty much the only thing you can really do wrong in this forum. The only Pitting you started that had even a little entertainment value was the zoo one, and that was because you appeared to really believe zoos were cutting birds’ wings off and sticking them in trees.

> [@Acsenray](#): > > Only latent homosexuals get annoyed when someone calls them “gay.” True dat. A couple of times people have questioned my orientation–and not in a good way. A curt reply of “bend over and I’ll show ya” brought the situation to a succinct end. ---

Pretty sure I wouldn’t worry what the users of a Warcraft 3 board say about whether something is “gay” or not. (Because they’re all so deeply in the closet that they call things gay to cover up for their own gayness.) ---

Eating pizza with knife and fork is how it’s done in Italy, so I vote “not gay”. ---

However. There were some other places where people were practically thinking the same thing. I think it’s that the what comes to most people’s mind when they are thinking about pizza, is stuffing yourself with unhealthy cheese, sauce and bread. So anything different, such as a veggie only pizza, or eating it neatly with a fork and knife seems “gay” to them. I am pretty sure it’s not meant to be taken “literally”, but why do people even think of it in a negative way. I’m pretty sure anyone who says vegan pizza is gay, or eating with fork and knife is gay, just haven’t tried it. They really don’t know what they are talking about. ---

> [@bump](#): > > Eating pizza with knife and fork is how it’s done in Italy, so I vote “not gay”. But isn’t Italian pizza a very different animal which is much more convenient to eat with a knife and fork, as opposed to American pizza, which is generally a finger food? ---

It’s gayer than Harvey Fierstein asking Nathan Lane to help him pick a designer for Sean Hayes’s new Broadway revue “Bette Midler Sings the Hits of Cher in the Style of Judy Garland,” directed by Ian McKellen and Derek Jacobi.
