Gay is not a synonym for "stupid", so please stop using it like it is. It's not cool to use "gay" if you really mean something is "stupid", it just shows how ignorant you are. So get it right...it's not "gay"(homosexual) it's "stupid"(dumb).

Thanks...is anyone else tired of this too?

You're right. Or when boys just plainly call each other fags, as an insult. It makes me so sickened to think that maybe one of them is actually homosexual and is probably crumbling on the insides.

It's the exact same thing if you were to say... "That's so 'jewish'"
As an insult. It's just an example, but I'm sure alot of people would take a second look. When you hear someone say, "Wow, that movie was so gay."
Nothing. It's completely normal.

The english language needs a reboot.

Okay. Hold your horses SilverWerewolf nobodys asking for more rights. Since when does wanting the samething as heterosexuals wanting more? Also the last time I checked were not in the Middle East, were in America and in America we accept people for who they are, the way they are.

We're not supposed to have a social caste in America, but. . .

On the original topic, of course I think it's stupid. I try to retaliate, when feeling particularly fed up, with "that's so straight/hetero," but it NEVER catches on.

I think one of my gay friends uses "gay" derogatorily (sp?). I should ask him why he does tomorrow. . .

WOAH WOAH WOAH!

Back it up. Who is asking for more rights?

How is wanting to be allowed to have a marriage that any straight couple can have "more rights"?

"Less oppressive than the Shari'a" is hardly a ringing endorsement.

You're right. Gay meant happy, in days long since dead.

But, why do homosexuals and lesbians think they deserve more rights than those of us who are straight? Many homosexuals do not like the United States restriction on gay rights, but think about this.

If you live in the Middle East and are found to be homosexual, they don't ask questions. They KILL you. Islam doesn't accept homosexuals.

So remember that the next time you think this country is too strict on non-homosexuality.

People who use gay in every sentence just sound idiotic, it drives me crazy.
I'm just going to play the foreigner card here - what does dank mean?

That's like, ah, black people using nigger, because they're black so why can't they use it? Pisses me off, actually.

Thanks for the welcome sweetiepie20 Smile

Yeah, some people use it jokingly, but then there's others who are just plain ignorant and don't realize it. ::sigh::

So does my brother, and he's gay. He only does it when joking though. I still don't agree with people using it in that sense though. Frown

I concur. It annoys me when people use the word "gay" in that sense.

I think that people are scared of Homosexuals, which makes them think that they are stupid becuz they are afraid of them. And welcome amatory10 to youthnoise.

I agree, and "dank" is not a term that should be used for "cool." *grumbles*
