I hope I'm not the only one who feels like this...

You are not alone. Many other people feel the same way as you in this world. Personally, I am not an advocate of the gay lifestyle, but that is just me. I don't have anything against homosexuals. I believe everyone has the right to choose who they want to be with, regardless of the gender. I may not agree with it, but I do accept it.

Being "gay" should not be considered an insult, and people who use the word as an insult are just ignorant and immature. Keep in mind that there are quite a lot of fools who don't know how to use considerate language in today's society. It's just the way people have become. It's a sad concept to think about.

Fortunately, there are people like you that do not agree with the utilization of the word in such an atrocious way. They throw the word around like it's nothing, like it's meaningless, like it has no purpose or value to the people around them. They treat it like it's a toy, a play-thing that can be thrown around willy-nilly in any given situation.

That is disrespectful and just plain rude behavior. "Gay" is not an insult. In fact, it's quite the contrary. It's a statement, a way of life that people choose for themselves. The argument can be made that it's not a "choice" to be gay, but again, this is my opinion and the way I think. Please respect that.

Once more, I don't agree with the lifestyle, but everyone's choices and opinions deserve to be respected, despite the many people who continue to use the word in such an inconsiderate way.

I don't used those words anyway.

I knew what the proper meanings of terms are/were but this is not 19th c Britain & they ARE used in that generalized way. If you dislike, simply do not use or associate with those who DO talk like that-that is what I do.

This has been mentioned and discussed several times on here.

It's not just you.
Have you noticed how most of the people who use the word 'gay' in that way are just really immature anyways? I try to steer clear of those people as much as I can. They're very annoying and impossible.

Doesn't really bother me. If anyone wants to 'insult' me by calling me gay, then go right ahead.

Sorry couldn't help it.

it does irritate me when people do that. honestly there's about 2,000 or more words out there you could use to describe something other than "gay"
then again i have to bring myself in line too b/cause every once in a while i say it

IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY FREAKING SENSE!
"Oh that homework assignment is so gay!"
Is it happy? Is it homosexual? It's an inanimate object, it can't be either!

It's idiotic and childish. I will hear it being used in my school as an insult 10 times a day and it annoys the hell out of me.

Usually when people say things like "Oh that's so gay!" I will just come right back and say, "No it's straight!" Just to show them how ridiculous it sounds. Thankfully, it works. Because most of the time when people use it they forget what they are really saying and how offensive they sound.

ur not alone be cause i something similair to that happen to me i was pissed how he used the word gay

I don't use that word, but I know what you mean. It gets really frustrating at times.

I agree with you. People just don't use the term for it's proper meaning anymore. Just like "gay", the term "bitch" isn't used for it's proper meaning anymore. Gay shouldn't be an insult, but a term to describe a homosexual. That it should be.

People still use that word that way? That's gay.
Kidding.
But I do find it annoying when people misuse words like that, how they would describe an object or idea as gay or retarded, or how they might call a scene musical even if there is no god damned music.

your not the only one i mean people really should use it right? well no one ever called me gay but if they did i'll surely say" u don't even know whatt that word means sucker?"

Lol I'm actually gay and I really don't give a fuck.

Yes, it is stupid, I agree, but it's also stupid to care at all tbh. Making a fuss over it just makes people (or more specifically idiotic immature assholes) want to use it more to spite the people getting mad which isn't exactly helping gay people get any measure of social acceptance. Getting mad just alienates gay people further. On the other hand, if you let it slide and you don't let it bother you the people using it won't get pissy and everyone's good.

The way I see it, you have to own a word. "Queer" used to be demeaning but we took it and made it our own. The same with "dyke." I'll tell people I'm a dyke with a smile. The same should happen with faggot, because if you own it they can't use it against you. They're just words, right? So just don't give a fuck if people call each other "gay" as an insult and will go away eventually.

That's the way I see it. Just let it go.
