Reminds me of some of the nomenclature freaks. If I relay the sighting of buffalo/bison in Yellowstone, most, either way, will know what we're discussing, and no corrections will be required. Not seen any mention of bison nickels either.

Way too easy to get some guys riled up over the "gay" 270 ..... personally, I can't recall ever shooting a deer with my 270 and thinking " gee, I wish I had a 7-08, or 6.5 creedmore, or any number of other cartridges that would have done the job just as well"....
As rifle loonies, we tend to be a rough, sarcastic, self righteous bunch, don't we?

A cartridge case is a brass bottle to hold a bullet, powder, and primer. Though there are some complexities with this component, we argue way too much about which one is best. But it keeps life interesting!

I've got a couple rifles in 270 Win and a couple in 6.5 CM.....I didn't realize it until now, but I'm REALLY gay. No, you got it wrong. Both penalties off-set, repeat 2nd Down.

Never had one. Don't really know why. Just never felt the need. I know a lot of folks that have/use them, including my son and my life long hunting partner and they seem to like them alright. At this point I doubt if I'll ever get one.

Funny picture by the OP.
Never cared for the "270 Win is gay". posts on the campfire. I am not pro- or anti- gay. I just think it is stupid.
The 270 Winchester is a great, classic rifle cartridge.
The 6.5 Creedmore is an exceptionally well-designed and effective rifle cartridge. It is a modern classic. If I didn't have have full faith in my 30-06 or 308 Win chambered rifles, I'd get a 6.5 Creedmore. My only negative about it (6.5 Creedmore) is the fast twist. Not so good for cast bullets. A 30-06 or 308 Win with 1-10, 1-11, or better yet a 1 -12" twist is a much better dual purpose jacketed / cast bullet cartridge platform.
I have owned two 270 Winchesters: a Win m70 pre-64 sporter and a Weatherby Vanguard S2.
Both were great. I have been trimming the herd down to a couple of .308 caliber rifles, and sold the others off . I kept two 30-06 rifles, two 308 Win rifles and my Marlin 336A 30-30. Inventory for one caliber is very easy.
I believe I have a good sense of humor. Just never saw the humor in the "270 Win is gay" threads. Gets old very fast.
Whatever.

I have heard a lot of that in the past. I am not really impressed with the 280, I think a lot of people are in the same boat . Their sales reflect it. FWIW I have owned a few of them. If I want 7mm I go 7mm rem mag.

I tend to agree with what Jack O'Connor said, that the .270 and .280 are equally as good. Use good similar b.c. 140 grain projectiles in either, the .270 marginally better sectional density, the .280 marginally bigger diameter. I don't think there is any significant difference. For slightly better performance than the .270 with slightly more recoil, I'd go for the .280 RCBS Improved or a .277 with a slightly bigger case.
