Calling a gay person gay is not an insult or profanity to them. What is the alternative? "Homosexual", a medical term that portrays them as a mental case? The dreaded F-word? The word "gay" was created BY gay people to give themselves an acceptable name, in a time when the only alternatives were those listed before.

It becomes a question of whether or not we want to marginalize the group as a whole, which I believe is something that definitely should not be done. To edit Wikia, one must be 13 or older, meaning one should be mature enough to accept some people's quirks which don't affect you in any way.

I have nothing to do with this wiki. I have zero edits. I won't say anything about the demotion of this administrator (though it does indeed sound like a knee-jerk reaction). But "gay" should not be banned.
