"that's so gay!" - offensive, no?

[red robot]

Why is being called gay such a derrogatory term these days? What's wrong with being gay? Sheesh, i'm fed up with all of this "gay this" and "gay that" crap. Learn a new freaking word already.


Does anyone agree with me?

[OysterBoy]

Agreed. Especially when some things cant have a sexual prefference. Like a car.

lol.....silly cars.

What are you, gay?

[Kevmaster]

imho,

if it offends someone...tough crap. I don't give a damn whether I say something offends you. That doesn't just go for the 'gay' stuff either. I'll say what I mean and what I feel...and if you don't like it, thats not my problem. You can take your whining somewhere else as far as I'm concerned.

So, if it offends you, I'm not sorry, nor will I stop doing something unless I truly wish to.

QFT.

[OysterBoy]

If you say what you mean, you can't logically say something is gay without proof. If you do so anyways, you are a hypocrite.


Hyppie.

So you express yourself how you want to, regardless of other people's criticism? That's mostl likely a bad idea, especially when that course of action leads you to misuse the english language on principle.

Also, I didn't ask for an apology. I'm just surveying responses, there's absolutley no need to use such volitile connotations. I would like to keep this thread flame-free; we might be able to learn something from it. Please keep and open, kind-mind on this thread and be nice to one and other. Thanks.

On these boards? Heh.

HeteroEdit: Open minds are gay.

This reminds me of the O.J. Simpson case. Heh.

People that call things gay can't do so logically without sufficient proof. Prove to me that a car can be gay. Then prove to me that a specific car is gay. Doesn't have to be a car either, anything else.

Saying something is gay is perfectly OK with me. Gay people are gay, aren't they? What I have a problem with is someone calling an unappealing car "gay."

I think what he means is, he is not going to change his wording of something because it offends someone. Obviously he won't around calling all homosexuals ***gots... But he won't adapt to make people happy because a simply words offends THEM. His intention has no harm, so be it. If he did mean harm, well that's another arguement.

I see what you mean. His intent is good and harmless. However, that does not mean that his actions are harmless. If I pointed a gun to my brother's head and, ignorant of the consequence, shot him in the head, I would be causing extreme suffering while my intent remained neutral. That's a bit exaggerated, but it holds the point. Even if you have good intent, like kevmaster has by intending to use it as being non-offensive to gays, it still is!
