yea, when i tell people to stop that, they think i'm gay. when they ask, i say no comment. should it make a difference if i'm gay or not?
like now. i'm not going to say if i'm gay or straight. because why should it matter? meanwhile, the world is still ignorant and stupid and partially homophobic. |

The term gay is usually used to refer to a person's sexuallity and it annoys me when people use it to insult other people.
Shoot, when I use gay, I really mean for it to state that someone is happy. Me: "Hey Mr. David, you're seem really gay today!" Mr. David: "Excuse me -- detention for you!" |

QUOTE No, I just enjoy saying Gay. It is a habit. Everyone says it. you're a dipshit. (see? not cretin. *smiles sweeetly*) i think its OBVIOUS from this thread that not everyone says it, and that if it is a habit, its one that you should be trying to break. you're promoting ignorance and intolerance in our society. so shut up. you are a waste of my time, and everyone else's who has an ounce of common sense. one day, some one is going to make you actuall ythink. it wont be me, and it wont be rachel, and it wont be anyone else on here, as you've already decided we dont matter. but one day, i PROMISE, you will stop, and realize what you're doing QUOTE i HATE IT WHEN IT'S USED AS AN INSULT. iT'S ALWAYS USED BY THE REDNECKS TOO. there's irony there somewhere...  QUOTE james, please don't gloat over this either. as far as i can see, both of you pretty much agree on the topic. ok... we've had that joke. its past it. i get that you agree, bu tlets try and stay relatively mature here, yeah?  why would i gloat? you agree with me, and you're right. its not a contest to win. and hglatinboy and i agreed to an extent, but he wasnt able to grasp the concept that using it as a derogatory term on and object was just as bad as using it on a person. QUOTE that was gay......this thread it gay....the world is gay....and i think its gay how people use gay all the time.

QUOTE i HATE IT WHEN IT'S USED AS AN INSULT. iT'S ALWAYS USED BY THE REDNECKS TOO. I'm not redneck. I'm actually from California. Every other person in California is homosexual. and i'm not homophobic. i've been saying that since 6th grade. It usually doesn't offend homosexual people. |

QUOTE(sandy_lumpy_shore @ Apr 24 2005, 8:38 PM) retarded is like the same as gay. i mean you could really hurt a person who truly is retarded. (I know airam was joking.) Actually, that's not true... Our society twists things to make it seem that being gay is bad, but it's not, it's just as sinful as being straight is. However, being mentally ill is generally considered a negative characteristic... If you limit adjectives like that, then we wouldn't be able to call anyone anything. Like not being able to call someone idiotic from fear of insulting idiotic people.

I yelled my friend at that today because he was at Barnes and Nobles, and these two guys dressed up as Oliver and Abraham Lincoln were dancing and he said," Oh that's so gay." It just really pissed me off, and when he tried to defend himself, he replied," Well, everyone ELSE says it! Why don't you say it to them?!"
I infact do. I pisses me off. Just because their sexual preference is differen't doesn't mean that there's something wrong with them. Continuing on with the conversation: Me: Well, just because everyone else says it, doesn't make it right. It's terrible, and even though I'm straight, it offends me. How would you feel if I saw something really stupid and said," Oh that's SO fillopino?" Not the best thing, huh? Think about it. Friend: .... Me: *walks away* It just makes me mad so much. |

QUOTE(jooleeah @ Apr 24 2005, 9:56 PM) It does make me mad when people use "gay" out of context. I do it myself sometimes, and yes, that's contradicting, but at least I try to stop myself from doing it. I had an arguement the other day with these two girls saying "gay". 1st girl: You're so gay! 2nd girl: Well you're bisexual! Me: Stop it. 1st girl: Are you gay? Me: No, but it's rude to say "gay" like that. 2nd: You're so gay! Me: Stfu. Now. LoL that made me laugh, it's so dumb though |
