while it is unfortunate - most people (as has been mentioned) use my old friend and  the like to basically just cuss.  It really has ZERO connection with homosexuals at this point.  9 out of 10 people saying "my old friend" mean no actual harm or bias to homosexuals and if asked if they had problems with homosexuals would say "no". 

again, its unfortunate but i would just say try not to get upset over it by remembering its not ACTUALLY a slander upon the gay community.

Very innapropiate just the same.

Just for historical reference...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/bundle of sticks

"Death by burning, metonymically referred to by the bundle of stickss which fuel the fire."

That is to say, gay people were burned in the same pyres as witches, and called bundle of stickss because they fueled the fire as well as the actual bundle of stickss (bundles of sticks) that they used to start said fires. Not looking for flames (bad pun), just saying, if you're wondering who applied the phrase to gay people, it was likely peasant who thought they were being clever.

I am sort of bi myself and have zero problems with people using it or using it myself. Not everybody connects a word with actual badmouthing of a orientation.

Sooooooooo, can I have a list of proper insults? Preferably insults that make people happy.

Seriously though, not everyone is nice. Not everyone cares. There will always be those people out there who say mean shit not to just gays but to all minorities. The faster you dont give a shit what people say. The faster they will stop saying it. I live in Texas. For those of you who dont know, it is one of the most racist places in USA. People get the shit kicked out of them for being gay. Or black. Stop whining cause little 12 year old jimmy said bundle of sticks. There's alot worse shit out there, so in my honest opinion, get over it.

That isn't porn. Maybe the last one could be but you don't see any genitalia.

Huh? The article you quote says that this isn't the derivation...
The word is "anyway" not "anyways". You are not Gabby Hayes.

Its actually quite a valid question, in a way, its a general given that the purpose of a specie is to reproduce itself to sustain itself, but homosexuality kinda defeats that purpose, doesn't it?

That always puzzled me.
