all i'm trying to say is when you are called a name, and you are comfortable with what you are being called there is no need to retaliate in any manner. just like to me a [censored] is not a black person. its quite simply a [censored], some piece of shit person, can be black, white, mexican, hell even a video game can be a [censored] lol. i know the word is offensive to black people, but i've never had any types of hatred toward different groups whether its racial, sexual, or social class. i hate everyone equally. i hate people as a whole. i would not be offended by anyones opinion and thank you for being honest.
At the risk of getting off topic, I will say this much, and I will be censoring myself. You are using that word in the same way that my own father uses it. He tries to selectively use the word [censored] for people who do not stand on the same political line or opinion as he does. He sees no contradiction in this, nor does he consider himself to be racist in doing it. Please keep this in mind:
The general use of racial stereotypes is rooted in history as a weapon of poverty, societal indifference, distortion of class consciousness, and state corruption. It is an aspect of racism. Due to the fact that racism has been continually exploited in the US for reactionary purposes, it cannot have a separate context apart from that history. You may not be racist yourself in saying these things, and I do believe you when you say that you are not racist. But, in effect, by engaging with racist stereotypes in this way,
you are practicing racism. This the last I will say about it. Please do not try get off-topic again.

as for reports of animals being gay, i don't think thats the case (based on what i consider to be "gay"). i'm pretty sure all animals are genetically engineered to continue their species.
Unfortunately, what you consider to be gay is not particularly convincing, nor does it have any scientific basis. As for animals being gay, you may consider these entries:
