I messed up the poll again... so, if you want to vote for the first one, just post it in a reply. Or one of the mods can fix it.
Personally, I find people who use the word "gay" to mean stupid is incredibly offensive. When a person says something like "THAT'S SO GAY!", I swear a blood vessel pops in my head. And when I bring it up with my friends, they say things like, "I have gay friends and they say it too!" Well, your gay friends are the only homosexuals in the whole world. Anyway, what do you think of it? You obviously know my answer. [I hope this is in the proper forum, if not feel free to move it!] |

You see...to me, if you think saying that word is offensive, it means you're taking "gay people" differently. Things like "gay" and "retarded" don't even mean the same thing anymore. As long as you don't say it and MEAN it as something like metally retarded or homosexual gay then it is served as a "second" meaning.
It's like if you take it offensively, you're taking it the other way...you're the one actually viewing these words along with actual gay people and actual retarded people. When the other people aren't even remotely thinking about it. |

When the other people aren't even remotely thinking about it. Even if you don't mean it, they can still take it that way. People need to think about what they say, before they say it. I really don't care if everybody around you doesn't mind, it really bothers me. I'm bisexual, and I don't think I need to hear, "THAT'S SO GAY!" every single day I'm at school or in public. It's just like walking up to somebody and saying, "Hey, nigger! Oh sorry, I just meant HEY, BUDDY!" Thank you for all the supporters! |
