21. The rest of the world is mostly theist

[font style="font-family:papyrus,'Brush Script MT','comic sans MS',fantasy;" size=3 color=teal]Of course they don't see it that way, but even the self deleted thread admitted when it comes to the world I live it a large portion of atheists see it as a slur. Same can be said of the Q word.

For most of the rest of its uses in the rest of the world, its fine. But when applied to the LGBTQ community by people hostile to the community it is a slur.

You have to keep on explaining it to me because we disagree, we come from vastly different points of view and see things differently. [/font]
