Damn, I was hoping there was a place for this in our game.
I don't think its appropriate to use the term as an insult, and to be honest I'm surprised how prevalent its usage is (particularly from the younger generation) given how "main stream" being homosexual seems to have become.
But of course alot of it is about context:
"You're gay!" is just lazy use of language and is unfortunately used by the younger generation, usually without any sort of malice.
"f**king Gay merkin" is vitriolic and nothing other than a narrow minded slur that seeks to denigrate a section of our community.
What about:
"He's black", v's "He's a f**king black merkin". Nah, no insult there.
Weasel words.I pity people like this who view the word gay as an insult. So insular and homophobic. It's sad.
There is a huge difference between the word 'gay' and 'black' as an insult. As said no one under 30 means anything remotely homosexual when they say the word 'gay.' calling someone black has he same meaning no matter your age bracket.
It's ridiculous that any punishment is being handed out for this.
who are you are where have you posted the other 7352 times? i've never read anything you have said before.This is seriously a massive issue? :?
Ask Bateman how he feels and move along. Chances are he's probably already forgotten about it.
Who hasn't called someone else gay in their lifetime? If he's actually gay and the remark was meant to be a serious jab at that, then there is an issue. Otherwise, who the f**k cares

I'm lazy and don't want to read through this whole conversation. What did Matt Lodge have written on his tape?
Mitchell Moses, the player who said it, suspended for two weeks.
Good work NRL.
I am honestly sick and tired of all the politically correct gay sympathisers who have infiltrated LU.
Yes....I am a homophobe, and for good f**king reason.
Like the HUGE major of the population, I use a public toilet to expel bodily waste, not to attempt to commit a sexual assault on a 14 year old.
That 14 year old was me....when the toilet door burst open with a naked middle aged sporting a full erection, there's no time to wipe your arse. I kept that secret to myself for over 15 years, despising anything remotely gay. No police, parents, friends, anyone knew.
Now our little Master Bateman is either a weak character or has a chip on his shoulder. Under 20s doesn't mean you're a 14 year old where your life experiences are more impressionable, longer lasting and develops personal beliefs and values.
Master Bateman looks more suited to bocce.
Of course it isn't, however a certain poster on here got a little excited and decided to incorporate it into his own personal story to give it a greater impact.Had the same sort of experience but paedophilia, sexual harassment and sexual assault aren't the same as homosexuality.
