I'm gay and I don't care if people say I'm gay. Though I guess if someone referred to me only as "the gay" it might be slightly offensive since I'm more than just a gay person. Just like if you referred to someone as "whitey" or "blackie" all the time it would be a little off putting since they are more than their skin color. But you would have to be actually trying to offend me with the word, I doubt you could do it by accident.
If someone bites your head off just for saying gay, I think you're perfectly okay to just write them off as a jerk.
Is it rude to call someone gay who is gay?
