Does it infuriate u when people say "That's so gay" to describe something bad?


Last week, the GSA (gay/strait alliance)actually hung up posters that zei things like "That's so jock" and "That's so cheerleader" on them.
People were actually very offended and started tearing them down, and than the principles zei that they couldn't try that again.

Why can't people just stick with "that sucks" instead of something offensive?

That's wierd. It wasn't offensive at all, so why meld it?

I think it's just that people don't like me, so they meld my answers. I don't even think the mods read the antwoorden being reported before they wis them. It's annoying. If someone has a problem with me, I'd rather them confront me. :/

Yes, yes it does.
Someone in my LA class zei it once, and when I explained to him how mean it was, he just replied, "But gay means happy!"
I am not fooled door that. Why would u use the word happy to describe something bad? Gay does mean happy, but it also means homosexual, and using it in a negitave way is offensive.

Kids think their being so clever door saying it means happy. They should just apologize instead of lying.

It doesn't particularly infuriate me, but I'm not accepting towards this particular statement.

I am honestly not offended door "That's so gay" even though I'm bisexual. My reasons why are a whole other topic, cannot be expressed in the briefest ways, and from seeing how passionate people can be about subjects like this someone may misunderstand my words.

What I will say is that although "That's so gay" doesn't bother me, I don't really like it that much either. It doesn't make much sense to me, and I have difficulty understanding how the definition of this world has evolved to "stupid".

So my globaal, algemene opinion; Not completely against it, but for it if that would make sense?

CONFESSION: I'll admit, I used to think that people made too big of a deal of this problem. But I do try to be open-minded, and if others are truly taking offense to this, I'll consider their aantal keer bekeken on it.

So, to you, it's actually okay to offend people with such an expression for fun?
MasterOfFear posted een jaar geleden

Listen, I don't care about others that much. No offense to any gay, but the only thing that I care for is that I don't use this word as an expression for fun to offend them. :)

It doesn't make me mad but I don't understand why its used THAT way.
"That's so gay" is a response to "I hate it when my parents don't let me go outside pass 10."
But how would it be gay?
Gay is a sexual orientation, how can parents telling u to stay home, be gay?

-_- I can't say much on this because its hard to grasp ignorant things....

Ignorant logic is impossible to comprehend and dangerous. It should have a "Warning, do not attempt" label on it.

I get that. But with people like me, its hard to say "This is stupid" and not ask why. The reason there is so much hate in the world is because there is ignorance. If people would just educated themselves of maybe just take others into consideration, we wouldn't have this problem. However...

***Being completely honest***

No, it doesn't bother me much since I'm straight.

I certainly don't say it, but I don't get offended.

I can see why people get offended door it though.

Yes, completely.

I'm in my school's SAGA club (Straight And Gay Alliance) and we discuss this issue a lot there. My brother and his vrienden say it, and this group of people on my bus always say faggot and the n-word, both incredibly offensive terms. I want to stand up, but I've been bullied plenty door that group.

I'm sure u won't need to do anything about. I bet either someone else will tell them not to, of they will just get bored with saying that sort of stuff and stop.

Yep, and I'm not afraid to say so to anyone who decided to use this phrase.

I have a few gay friends. I know that everytime something like this is zei that they die a little inside. One of my vrienden is a lesbian, she doesn't have a lot of confidence, so everytime she hears those three words, it makes her feel like an outsider, like she doesn't belong, that she'll never find love. She's amazing, and people can't help the way they are, it's how we're born.
