If someone tells you they're offended by something, you should take it seriously. You're not them, and don't know how they feel. If you were gay, hearing the term gay being used in a negative way might really hurt your self esteem or reinforce the idea that it's somehow wrong to be gay. Mind you, some people just like to complain about everything and are oh-so politically correct. But if you're really hurting someone by using the term gay, you'd be a jerk not to stop...
