Why is gay a censored word?

Unfortunately, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) individuals are often subjected to homophobic remarks and harassment online, as in real life. We do not want anyone to feel disrespected, insecure, unwanted or unsafe.
Homophobic remarks such as “thats so gay” or “this is gay” are the most commonly heard. Even since these slurs are often unintentional they can still hurt LGBTs. Most people do not recognize these consequences, but the casual use of this language can carry over into more overt harassment.
