When people say, "That's so gay." I feel my body tense and heart go faster. I want to hurt them, but then, I know they only say that because they have nothing better to do. But tons of kids at my school say that, and at home, so do my brothers( I have three.) ,so I can't get any freedom from that phrase. I usually just go to my room, try to play it off, but I can't ever get it out of my mind.

Alright, here's my two cents on the "That's so gay." stuff:

Basically, it doesn't bother me much. It's just like how stupid middle schoolers keep saying everyone they don't like is "gay". How I see it, the semantics have changed. It's just your average insult to make fun of you, just like pretty much every other slurs.

Words or any combination of words aren't bad themselves, words are innocent. The meaning people put behind the words are the culprits.

I don't even know if any of that makes sense.

Anyway, the thing is, words or any slurs don't really bother me. Being called a fag bothers me just as much as being called a carrot or a chair does. I didn't censor that like some other people earlier but I don't mean to upset or offend anyone. Truth is, I could proudly replace 'gay division' with 'dumb fag' in my about me if I didn't feel like some people could be hurt by it.

I happily embrace any slurs or offensive words that are thrown at me since I think that's the best course of action. Welcome the word and slowly rob the offensive tone away. 'Otaku' used to be an insult too. Though people are people so we'll keep coming up with new words to insult one another either way.

...I think I got a bit sidetracked there. I hope you don't mind. I'm just sick of people getting all worked up over mere words. Maybe that's just me though. Either way, I still kinda get why some people get really offended by certain words and I hope this post of mine didn't upset anyone. This is just my humble opinion.

Took me a while to understand that word mess. I really hope you overdid that on purpose. If not, try taking a breather before typing furiously. I'm not trying to be mean here, just a piece of friendly advice.

I think people really shouldn't sink to the level of douchebags and throw the insults back like that. I know it's not as simple and easy as it sounds but it's not okay to insult anyone just because of their sexuality, be it gay, straight, or something else. I've seen straight people get 'attacked' just for being straight and that's not any less wrong. I know I know, history and statistics and such. However, two wrongs don't make a right.

There's nothing wrong in getting upset, we all do that from time to time.

Life is never fair. Hopefully, it'll get fairer as we live on.

Through the woods a girl came sadly.
Something broken in her chest.
She had dared to love another.
Alas, no better than the rest.
Up my path the girl came gladly.
Something opened up my doors.
I longed to stop her bleeding heart.
And so I called her to my shores.
Those you trust will hurt you badly.
Something now I'm sure you see.
So drown your tears in me my dear.
As you drown, my dear, in me.

[@Kankri: Really off topic but I really like your avi]
Anyways I still don't think gay should be used an insult. But I guess it's something I'm already used to though, since I live in a society like this. :> My friends always say I'm gay as an offensive word, and I dislike that because they say it in public. And not all homophobes are… peaceful, let's say. Well it isn't like Kevin doesn't act gay. Lmao
Actually I'm pretty sure the term "gay" is derived from its original meaning; happy. :>

HAHA IM PROLLY REAL LATE BUT IM GUNNA JUMP IN Ok ok...
for me it rlly ?? depends on the person like if i dont know you, and you say " EEWWW HAHAH thats f// nasty hes so gay !!" then yeah im gunna glare at you outa the corner of my eye. I wont get offened personally per say, but i will find it....very UNfunny.
though i am extreamly biased on this because i come from a redneck confederate white pride hillbilly highschool setting so. i dont ?? trust ppl that say that very well oops

but i mean, if i know them a bit or if its a friend ill act offened and then just laugh along, because i know ( or hope so ) that they know being gay isnt nasty, yanno??
hope this makes some sense hhhh h

Bakura & Ticci-Toby
You both are accepted, welcome to the club.
I've heard of people saying things that basically sum up to "If you're gay, throw homophobic slurs and it's okay because you're gay." which I don't agree with.

On another note, feel free to change the topic whenever. I have no good ideas lol.

/I like this song for several reasons./

I personally have never heard someone use gay as an insult, and my friends never say it because they are younger than me. If someone actually used gay as an offensive word they would get a glare or a small lecture from me.
