Subject: Is it really so gay?
Me and a few of my friends have a problem when people refer to things or people as gay. It would be different if they were using it in the correct way but it's become a negative term meaning stupid, incorrect and a plethora of things relating to some idiocy .
That's the problem now a days. Everyone has made being gay a bad thing. As if it isn't supposed to exist. Hearing kids in my high school say "That's so gay" makes me angry, so angry in fact that I ask them if it is truly homosexual. They usually don't answer and walk away snickering something along the lines of "What a homo". Another phrase that pushes my buttons.
The fact that people who could be decent human beings use the word in a negative connotation just show their immaturity and feelings toward anyone who is gay.
The terms "That's so gay", "What a homo", etc. are misused and are offensive to homosexuals and people close to them. So as a request just stop saying. Increase your vocabulary and stop sounding like a child.

Completely agree. sad thing is i used to say "that's so gay" but i was stupid and immature and if i can learn to not say it i think everyone else should be smart enough to.

Hayden, this blog is SO gay. Just kidding, I actually think it's great that your standing up for something that needs to be heard about. The other day I was in one of my classes and a kid commented that gay people shouldn't have children because they would be taught that gay is the "way to be" I actually almost smacked him. I refrained, and just yelled instead. I was like "Honestly? So you really think that homosexuals are raising an army of gay children to defeat the world?" Some people amaze me, I don't care if you like men or woman, or if your the color purple, your a human and that matters.

I completely agree. I hate it when people say things like that. I'm glad someone is finally voicing their feelings about it.

I agree people that say that sound so stupid and childish. I also used to be one of them and am not proud of it. I think that some of the world is becoming aware of how offensive it is. The commercial, "That's so Emma and Julia." Good for you for saying your thoughts.
p.s. love the fish :)
