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.

I honestly don't think "emotional gay man" is what people are thinking when they call someone a drama queen. They're thinking the person is getting worked up about something trivial, turning something into a big drama for no reason. ***ual orientation is irrelevant. There's nothing objectively offensive about "drama queen". So if someone gets offended due to some strange assumptions they have, that's on them, not me.

I get that the use on this board has no intention to be offensive, but you have to be aware that there are other meanings used to be very cruel and beyond an off the cuff "banter" comment.

just because it's always been said doesn't mean its ok.

If every person chooses to put their own interpretation on any established phrase then all hope of common communication will be lost and anything or everything can be deemed to be offensive in some way or other.

I take offence at your use of the word "common", which is derogatory and mean towards the working class.
