There is no policy that could produce that sort of result; what I term the idealist/utopian corner.

This explains a lot of Greg's car troubles - he's a fkin dreamer!

I did the most recent one (wasn't 2013) and I finished up in the top right corner.

I am the 0.000001%?

Was aiming to be part of the curve... Spun a bearing and a wheel exploded, spun out and ended up in a busstop / top right of graph.

Because Greg.

What about the times when you used the word "gay" in jest within conversations.

Now realising that it would have been many bad feels for him.

Your change management has no place in our altered state of friendship

What about all the times he told me he thought some chick was hot - lies, all lies

FYI he used the homo words in casual convo too. I'm thinking he was in denial (now he's inda anal) or just wanted to fit in (oh god with the puns)

Recently found out my friend came out of the closet although he hasn't publicised it & probably thinks I don't know.

I can either confront him, apologise for any in-jest comments & make the situation awkward, or wait until he mentions it & either pretend or admit I knew to which I would have to apologise & make the situation awkward...

Im sure there is some tv series which has addressed this issue. Not that there is anything wrong with it.

Unless he's feeling awkward about it and calls you up on it, I see no reason to make a thing out of it. Unless he's an egocentric flamin mongrel he's probably also aware that you might be feeling awkward about your in jest comments over the years. My personal view outside of the humour I post in here is that sexuality doesn't change what that person is to me, no more so than what kinky things a heterosexual person does with their wife in their own time that's also of no consequence to me. Sexuality is just another characteristic of the person - skin colour, big ears, tall or short, shy, intelligent or dumb. I therefore don't believe it should be off limits for jokes or mucking around. My brother is gay and I still pay him out with those words on occasion, not because he's gay but because I'd say them to anyone else too. Him coming out doesn't change this because I don't think sexuality should impact or change how you treat someone either. If he said that it offended him, I would be more sensitive to it around him just like I would anything else I say that offends people.

But I would probably also engage in a discussion about my other view on gay slurs in casual conversation: I think that once upon a time they were used exclusively as an insult with the implied connotation that a homosexual was inferior or different in an unacceptable way (and sometimes still are used this way), however the more common use of these words as insults these days, particularly amongst teenage guys, has its own meaning which is far removed from the gay bashing it used to be. Consider that many teenagers using such words don't even know the full extent of their meaning. This is why I'm not apologetic for any instance of using such words when my intention is not to hate on gays.

However - like anything else I say, if someone were to take offence I might be more sensitive about it afterwards (after explaining my viewpoint), not because I necessarily agree with them, but simply because I'm not a total flamin mongrel and I'm more for keeping the peace.

I also wouldn't retrospectively apologise for what I've said not knowing they have taken offence to it - if someone takes offence to something at the time, the it is up to them to call you up on it then and there, or else they are more or less condoning it to continue by way of you thinking they are okay with it. People can't change if you don't give them opportunity to or the boundaries to play in. I might be more sensitive towards a topic from there on if someone has made it clear they are offended by it, but certainly wouldn't feel I've wronged them in the past.

tl;dr: I don't hate fags

Why would the parties dots be in different spots on the graph in each persons graph..... Shouldn't they be in the same spot everytime?
