I suggest that as a supporter and administrator of a website that labels me as a faggot, and a participant and advocate of another website that has been home to trolling me with homophobic language for years, you avoid finding silly reasons to pick tiny holes in my text.
I am in a same sex marriage recognized by UK law. Being called /a gay/ is the least of my worries. In comparison your access to OTRS and personal oversighted material on Wikimedia projects worries me and others greatly.

Tarc, I felt your "lipstick on a pig" comment about a transexual was not just disgusting, but was a key example of why we needed a WM-LGBT user group to both highlight and gradually improve a hostile culture on Wikimedia projects that appeared to allow blatantly anti-LGBT attitudes and language on its projects under the guise of "being a joke" or "teasing".
Fæ, please don't refer to someone as "a transsexual"; it's objectifying and demeaning. Imagine someone calling you "a gay" - doesn't that just sound *wrong*? Adjective, not noun.
