"That's So Gay"

[Moldy Cheese]

So nowadays, 'gay' is commonly used as a slang term for stupid. Do you agree with this? Does it offend you? Do you use it?

No, No, No. lol
There will always be prejudice, wether we think it right or not really.. I mean one guy recently had to leave our school becuase someone spread round he was gay...lol
But I don't really think it matters what it means, its still a seen as a negative word, so the meanins are just gunna change.
But no.. doesn't bother me.

I use it more than swear/cuss words. I think it's much better to say than "fuckin stupid" Just got accustomed to it I guess. I don't use it to offend, like I'm not trying to make fun of people with a gay orientation, just everyone uses it now and yea.

I use it as slang for stupid. I don't necessarily agree with it, but it doesn't offen me either.

[Beeeeeel]

I think it's a stupid term. I'll say "you're retarded", but saying "you're gay" doesn't really indicate stupidity in my book.

I may use it in the slang there every once and while but hardy at all. It does bother me that much as long there is no one always saying then i tends to bother me.

I never really used it to begin with. Just because it sounded "gay." *gasp*

I do refuse to use it, though, 'cause (for the most part) any slang whatsoever makes me feel like a f**khead. And its being born of homophobia would completely contradict any means I had of using it. Just goes against my principles.

I don't agree with it but I have to admit I do it sometimes.

[Vertigo]

Even though I am gay (well bi really) I still use it sometimes. It's not really offending or anything like that, it's just stupid. >_<

Yah, our language has really evolved these days, tusk tusk.
