  • 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.

              • Well maybe they don't execute gays but who knows what they'd do if they were the government as in fundamentalist muslim countries?

                How are christians 'demonized' by the secular 'majority'? To give only one example, do you regard the exposure of the countless 'men of god' who've sexually exploited and abused both adults and children in their congregations as demonising these disgusting and in most cases unrepentant creatures? And I won't start on the financial exploitation by evangelists ....

    • Yup. But I've never heard anybody refer to gays as batty. Fruity, that I'm familiar with...
