    Wouldn't you know it? One of my sisters came over for a couple of days to help me build a roof over the patio, and it's looking like it may rain all day today. Maybe I'll luck out and she'll decide to stay until Sunday, rather than leaving tomorrow.

          I'm sure I must defer to your so-obvious, multi-layered expertise on all things gay.

              Do gay people use "That's so straight" as a derogatory term?

                I doubt it. As maligned as homosexuality is by so many straight people, I've never heard of a gay person condemning heterosexuality.

                    I know, but to actually use the term derogatorily requires at least rudimentary intellect, and such I thing I do not envision them having.

                        In effect. "Gay" men tend to (at minimum) look down on women, even if (especially if and as) they individually emulate the traits and/or weaknesses more commonly associated with feminine nature. "Gay" women, of course, are notorious for hating men. "Gay" men and women frequently use the word "breeder" (i.e. a "straight" person, and thus psychologically capable of breeding) as a term of contempt. And, in any event, the word 'gay' didn't have any meaning relating to homosexuality until the anti-straights hijacked it for that purpose. Where do such persons have standing to bitch because other people are hijacking their meaning?

                          It rained into the afternoon, then cleared off, after which we got quite a bit done on the project. While it was raining, we went shopping (at stores for her and the lumber yard for me). So, before she left yesterday, we completed the walls and built the load-bearing header above the walls, and got a couple of the ceiling joists in place. I could have done all this myself (you should have seen me building the sun-room 20 feet off the ground), but it's much easier and faster when you have help. It started raining again yesterday, it's still raining.

                                I just can't see many gay people using it. Most people wouldn't, so I assume most gay people wouldn't. It's a ridiculous insult, especially considering how many gay people father children.

                                    Not if they're used properly. Otherwise they're just meaningless words.

                                      but a large proportion of insults are meaningfull words used improperly!

                                        Then they're not insults, not really. You wouldn't be insulted by someone calling you a space alien, because it isn't true. You also wouldn't be insulted by someone calling you a human, because why would you be ashamed of that?

                                          I have heard both your examples(or close appromimation thereof) being used as insults, most insults are insults in context or by convention, ie a pervert 1. To cause to turn away from what is right, proper, or good; corrupt. 2. To bring to a bad or worse condition; debase. 3. To put to a wrong or improper use; misuse. See Synonyms at corrupt. 4. To interpret incorrectly; misconstrue or distort: an analysis that perverts the meaning of the poem. so using the meaning of the word may not be insulting and can be acurate in its use but is that to say its not insulting? if a word is used as insult and is reconignised by a social group as such, then it is valid to call it an insult even if a larger group sees no insult despite being its target. just because you dont relise your being insulted doesnt mean your aint being it is true however the more commonly accepted the insult the usually the more weight it carries
