It was made to be homophobic. The Reason it’s an insult to straight men is rooted in toxic masculinity and derived from homophobia.
You, a straight dude, don’t get to decide it’s not offensive it doesn’t concern you anymore than dumb ass white people in the south get to say the n slur is just a word.
Do you… do you think this definition was written by a person in 1890?
It’s a definition acknowledging the homophobic use of the word in its history and that it was earliest attested in 1890
Either way, people today are telling you the same thing as well, the point is it’s been that way for a while.
Either way when it was written, 1890, 890, 2023, doesn’t really address the fact I said before: You, a straight dude, don’t get to decide it’s not offensive it doesn’t concern you anymore than dumb ass white people in the south get to say the n slur is just a word.
Why do you think you get to tell people it’s ok for you to use a slur made up to denigrate them by the oppressor class you belong to? And why do you think you get to tell them whether or not they can find it offensive?
That doesn’t work bc you’re the one in this situation lacking the experience. You’re using a word that is target to gay people which you aren’t. You’re jumping argument, stay here. Why is it ok for you a straight guy to tell gay people it’s ok for you to say a word made up to reify homophobia commonly yelled at them when they were the targets of violence?
It's something that has been, and still is, used as a homophobic insult
I tried to get this through to you

I look forward to your tweet thread about how my existence is bourgeois decadence
furiously looking up the Kaiser's sexual activities to make a timely reference
You're very patient, comrade.
Sounds like a site tagline to me
This thread is full of them!
