I wouldn't have made an issue out of it. As I said in my previous post, I don't care about that kind of stuff. Plus, it would be really stupid to make an issue out of something like that.
So, what constitutes "gay-looking"?
Well, if you at least watch TV, then you have your answer (albeit a very stereotypical (SP?) one!).
Or is it that kind of situation where those in the group can say it, but those outside aren't allowed to say it? (Like the N word, the B word, or the F word.)
No, it's not like that. Just saying that someone looks "gay" is not gay-bashing. You know, "gay" is a very versatile word, just like the f-word, but not as versatile :lol:. And personally, I have yet to know a single gay person that gets offended when someone says "gay-looking". However, now I feel that I shouldn't have used that term in my reply. Let's just say that when you are gay, you have some sort of "gaydar" and you sometimes can figure out who is gay and who isn't. And before someone suggests this, even though gay people are usually very supportive of each other, it's not like they tend to form a closed group or clan, leaving straight people outside. And no, there's no discrimination against people who are not gay.

The gods made heavy metal and they saw that is was good
They said to play it louder than Hell
We promised that we would
When losers say it's over with you know that it's a lie
The gods made heavy metal and it's never gonna die
