He's certain that it's something. He's just not exactly sure what (is it option A or option B, OB1? Or option C?), despite statements to the contrary... :)
OB1, why can't you just say 'I think it's X' instead of 'I KNOW it is X'?
Using 'gay' as an insult is a bad thing that is depressingly popular... it's insulting and demeaning to gay people and "even if I didn't mean it that way" I'm sure actual gay people would take it that way. I'm sure that you (OB1) didn't mean it that way there, but DJ probably has heard it as an insult too many times to realize that... or perhaps it's a personal bias. Who knows which. Either way, DJ, you shouldn't automatically have assumed what you did.
