Symptomatic of today's society, anything that's said will be interpreted as some kind of "phobic" by someone, mainly drama queens.

And you have the right to be offended, if that's the way you roll. But I'm afraid that wanting to ban "drama queen" from a football forum does indeed make you a drama queen.

TBF the meaning is "over emotional gay man" so is a bit offensive isn't it.

EDIT: It is also used derogatory to women as well.

Why would anyone want to use the phrase when there's plenty of other descriptions to use.

None of the dictionary definitions from major dictionaries that I've been able to find include any reference to a gay man?

ETA: I've just found one... https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/drama-queen but it does seem to be an outlier.

I'd love to know where that definition comes from, it's not one I've ever heard.

If anything it's $exist rather than homophobic. Why does it have to be a drama queen and not a drama king? Or a drama it or drama them?
