Indeed, I still get flack for suggesting that the mods shouldn't, in the 21st century, ban the word "gay". You'd be surprised how many people consider it something to attack me about, even though the mods agreed.
It's really unnecessary, and it's not as if there isn't a solution or two being proposed.

I'm pretty sure those rules were clarified (changed?) awhile ago. I've asked where / if you have links to any recent instances were anyone "banned" or was punished for use of the word gay?
So far I haven't seen you answer / point any issues out where this has occurred when I've asked once or twice elsewhere

I'd be very happy to hear that it wasn't something I could still be punished for

No I don't need threads or links, I have enough info provided elsewhere (which is how I knew about the rule / change).
It should no longer be punishable based off the new guidelines I've seen for normal references / usage unless its used in demeaning / bigoted type way.

I'm glad to hear that, and I think that's a big step for CC. I'd be wary of the demeaning/ bigoted element though. When I received my ban, I was told that using the word "gay" was equal to calling someone the "n-word"
I don't think they're equivocable, and I'm glad that we now have mods who understand the difference.

The "new" rule / clarification has already been in effect for some time (Jan 30th, 2015 to be exact). There shouldn't be more recent issues regarding the word "gay" after/around that date.

You're the first mod to openly say that I was wrongly punished by the site. I appreciate that.

I don't know the details of your case, I was referencing that I haven't seen anything since the rule change. But if the details fit that description then it does sound like it would fit
