I saw your comments on Facebook, and I can't say I am surprised at the response you received from the people you were interacting with. These are the same people who told me John Barrowman was a paedophile, and that Jack - as a character - was also a paedophile, because RTD was too and a whole lot of other bollocks to boot.
I agree with you whole heartedly, things like that (the "discussion" that eventuated on FaceBook, and how they are using the term in such a negative context) just continually perpetuate a cycle of using the term 'gay' as a pejorative.
Yes, there have been some very off colour jokes in MD, especially regarding Jack and his sexuality and insinuations that Rex might be quite homophobic, but, in the same token, I think the audience are made aware that thinking like that is definitely frowned upon by Jack and the other members of this motley crew.
Sorry, just wanted to make that edit so I was a bit more clear in regards to what I was talking about.
