Yep. Hate it. So much.
They're using a term used to describe the sexual orientation of a person, as an insult. What kind of insult is that? What are you trying to say?

Another thing I really hate is when people say "tolerance" when referring to sexual orientation, racism, sexism, etc.
We Canadians have high tolerance to other races? No, it shouldn't be the word "tolerate". We shouldn't just "tolerate". Tolerating is putting up with it. What, is it terribly difficult for you to put up with the fact that that person has different genes or that this person has more melanin in their skin than you do? No, it should be respect. We should respect people, no matter how different they are from us. No matter how different, we are all the human race. What do you mean "tolerate"? We're stuck on this rotating ball of dirt anyway. So deal with it. Deal with the fact that people are people and that people love people. What does it matter what gender they are? If we are against sexism, then we are not discriminating based on sex/gender. So why do we care so much that a girl loves a girl, or a boy loves a boy? We are all the same essentially. Your genetic makeup is not more superior. You are not better than they. I am not better than you. I am not better than them, they are not better than you. Who they love, who they are: it's their life. Not yours.Your uncalled-for opinions? Not okay. It's not okay.
my thoughts exactly. When using the word "tolerated" it makes me think of negative things that are tolerated as if the people are a disease.
