That's honestly how I feel about it. Same with "nigga", "retarded", and "lame", all of which I also use regularly in casual conversation among friends.Originally Posted by NorthernChaosGod
If they can do it, I can do it.
The politically correct elite can go to hell.
Anyway, I'll do whatever I want.
I think it's ret... I think it's dum... I think it's lam..
Fortunately, words like moron, dumb, lame, are no longer commonly used to refer to a specific kind of person.
Unfortunately, words like nigger, retard, and gay are still commonly used to refer to a specific kind of person, who has feelings and may not like to be continuously belittled.
So basically, I agree with MJN Seifer. Your words are your own choice, however, but there's no reason to use them carelessly.
I should qualify that I have absolutely no problem using the most vulgar, offensive words (along with jokes, phrases, physical expressions, etc.) casually among friends. Like Shlup said, these things are bad when they're used in a derogatory fashion. But they're fine when used light-heartedly around friends whom you know will not take offense. It's all about context, really. And that's something most people seem to miss (especially the "if they can say it, so can I" crowd).
Seriously I find it such a conundrum that people use that word inappropriately.. You can use any other word that can aptly describe a poorly done movie but to use gay is simply well......Done out of poor vocabulary skills

"Lets go for a spin you and I"
Retarded is perfectly reasonable as an insult
Anyway I try not to use gay but when other people do I throw this joke out there:
Them: "That book is gay"
Me: "Hey! Theres nothing wrong if that book wants to have sex with other books, I for one support same text relationships!"
edit: In case anyone was thinking it dont try to use my justification for "retarded" as a justification for "faggot", calling something a bundle of sticks makes little sense as an insult, calling something slowed makes somewhat more sense.

Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
Have a nice day!!
Crap and S*** have four letters, while gay only had 3 letters. So people tend to go for the short one! Like how people dun bother to say F*** anymore and just go "I'll *F* you till you pee blood and your *A* burst open with flowers and *S*!"
Short and simple is the way to go!
Off Topic: When I was in Wales with some school friends, we stayed in a small village for the night and befriended some kids our age there. Some really attractive Welsh guys came up and asked if we had any fags with us. I did all I could do to not raise my hand in enthusiasm.
sometimes I know it's bad to say it but I do anyway. It's like, do you hear anyone use the word gay for happy anymore? Words change meaning, sometimes for the worst but it happens.
Trust No one
I figure it just means three things now
Gay=Happy
Gay=Homosexual
Gay=Lame
but yeah its not very nice but i think it just gets in to vocabulary and its just comes out. I do say it but I don't mean it in a "i think gay people" are bad way, thats just wrong and horrible!
...It is because there is a limit to time that we wish for nights that never dawn.Eternity is just an empty illusion and is why feelings of being able to believe in one another are born...Remember that well.
I can't understand people who use "gay" about things they dislike. I mean it used to be used for things people liked, why can't we all go back to that?
"No homo", however, is awesome.
everything is wrapped in gray
i'm focusing on your image
can you hear me in the void?
Describing things you hate as gay is really like gay!
No.
never used it, don't like it being used.
gay
Trust No one
