You managed to turn a simple feature request into subtle anti-gay propaganda, whether you meant it or not.
I see. I think people are being too sensitive.
Your comment isn't offensive to me, but I it looks like it is because of the disclaimer, which you don't need.
If you turned:
"It's cool to support gay people and all, but if I'm straight I shouldn't have to look at all the dudes when I'm clicking who I'm interested in."
into:
"If I'm straight I shouldn't have to look at all the dudes when I'm clicking who I'm interested in."
I don't think people would misunderstand it.
why should he have to be sensitive at all? It's his opinion.
To be understood better. People communicate to convey info.
I understand this. I'm just sick of the recent trend of silencing the freedom of speech when it may offend someone.
