    It may be offensive in the sense that it implies that gay people are not right or normal though. But I am not offended as a non gay person. Mybe I should be offended for the gays?

    Some people use it to imply someone is uptight and can't loosen up

    It is used as a disparaging term by bigoted gay people aimed at people who have kids.

    By that logic, gay is offensive, as it means heterosexual people are unhappy.

    Breeder, good one, don't have to be gay to use it obviously.
    A few too many people are overly obsessed with the breeding.
    I don't share their enthusiasm for increasing the population with new versions of them.
