    My dogs name is Batty! He's a black French bull dog but he's not gay as far as I know.

          Is it normal that French bulldogs remind me of Boston terriers?

    Batty? No. That's a slang term for insane.

    There are plenty of homophobic words out there for you. Faggot, dyke, arse bandit, anal engineer, bender, bummer, fairy, queer and many more. I'm sure you'll find the right one someday.

    What do you mean by batty? In Australia it would mean insane, as in bats in the belfry?

        If OP's suggesting gay people are necessarily crazy, then of course it's offensive

          Agreed. A lot of them are crazy but so is everyone else.

            Yeah and a fair proportion are "crazy" because of how they're treated by groups such as fundamentalist christians and muslims

              I would say that fundamentalist Christians treat them better than fundamentalist Muslims.

              One could argue that Christians are crazy because of the way the are demonized by the secular majority.

    I don't think it is offensive in the way that it is too violent or aggressive but seeing as it is synonymous to crazy, people will probs not appreciate that. It's not a good enough word to fight for in my opinion. Just let it go and move on.

    In today's society, anything you say is going to be "offensive" to somebody. People are too thin skinned.

      What's the difference between a gay man and a freezer?

      A freezer doesn't fart when you take the meat out.
