| I use the word, "Gay" a lot. Para examplés, "Dude, Van Helsing was fucking gay." "Quit being so fucking gay." "Seriously gay." "Why are you being such a gay little bitch?" "Gayest. Thing. Ever." <someone says something stupid> "Gay." "This is gayer than a bunch of gay men having gay sex." And so forth. Now, I'm not going to change how I talk, but I'm curious... does this re-hijacking of a hijacked word bother you? "Gay" in today's vernacular (at least as I use it), has come to stand in for any generalized term of abuse or for the words, "stupid," "bad," "lame," or anything else that I could possibly want it to mean. It's replaced "crap" as my favorite word ever, and I really like saying crap (it makes my mouth feel good!). So anyway, if you're gay (read: homosexual), does hearing the word "gay" refer to a bad movie bug you? Or, if you're straight, but one of those mamby-pamby, gotta-have-a-cause, politically-correct fucktards; does it bother you that someone somewhere may be bothered by my use of the word "gay" to refer to you even though you don't smoke the meatpole? |

| I use the word "gay" a lot and I'm not a gaybasher. I don't think a gay person should take offense to it unless offense is intended. I've even said stuff like"dude, that song is reallly faggy". Again not to to bash homosexuals. I think youve hit the nail on the head, ACM. |

| Posted by: The Acid Washed Messiah Oct 29 2004, 09:48 AM |
| It's an American Indian deed-name. Ver' lucky to be named "Smokes the Meatpole." Only "One Man Throwing a Bucket of Water on Two Dogs" is considered more lucky... especially for the second born in a set of twins. Usually though, the first twin isn't so lucky.  |

Don't use it then Why dont you like it? You think its offensive? to who? you? |
| Posted by: Shadfox Oct 29 2004, 05:12 PM |
| Even though using "gay" in that way is obviously derogatory, "inarticulate" is the first word that comes to my mind. Do you guys say, "that's Jewish!" too? That's getting pretty popular. |
| Posted by: rainyday8169 Oct 29 2004, 05:20 PM |
| I asked my super gay brother about this He said he isnt offended He also said acid is probably gay |
| Posted by: Shadfox Oct 29 2004, 05:24 PM |
| I don't think it's that big of a deal anymore. But, still, it isn't hard to figure out how the term came into use. |
| Posted by: ficino Oct 29 2004, 05:59 PM |
| I'm gay, and I find it offensive when "gay" is used as a put-down. I don't like it when a word that refers to my category of people is used as a general pejorative, as though there's something wrong with being gay. If "gay" is used to refer to a kind of "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" fashion sense, then I ignore it because I have no fashion sense at all. Ken's and my living room is decorated with old pizza boxes and beer cans (not... but not fashionable either). |

| I think people take political correctness too far My bro is gay I was with him while he was wearing a t-shirt that said "FAGGOT" on it I doubt he was trying to insult anyone by that but of course some overly sensitive pussy hadda get all bent outa shape and actually tossed us outa his gay store Later this man found out I wasnt the girlfriend but the sister and my brother was actually gay all of the sudden it was OK that he was wearing that shirt. PS Pizza boxes and beer cans can be very sexy |

| What does 8169 stand for? |
| Posted by: Shadfox Oct 29 2004, 06:57 PM |
| There's gays that are comfortable with it, and others who aren't. Those who aren't certainly have a right to be offended. I know cultural insensitivity is becoming a fashionable fad today because of the PC stuff getting out of control. Still, it's undeniable the word is used in a context of depreciation. Gay = effete = bad. I'm one of those who may think less of one's intelligence for using the word that way, but I don't think it implies the person is a gay basher by default. The new "Jewish" context angers me more for some reason and I'm not even Jewish. |
| Posted by: TruthWarrior Oct 29 2004, 07:15 PM |
Me and my friend used to say "that's gay" tons of times when we were teenagers. He later came out and admitted he was gay.  |
| Posted by: rainyday8169 Oct 29 2004, 07:27 PM |
| in case you didnt know the word has more than one meaning gay: 1. having or showing a merry, lively mood: gay spirits. 2. bright or showy: gay colors. 3. given to or abounding in social or other pleasures: a gay social season. 4. licentious; dissipated; wanton: a wild, gay life. |
| Posted by: Mo Biggsley Oct 29 2004, 07:39 PM |
| Gay means happy. As a happy person, I find it offensive that gay is being used to describe things that you feel are stupid. I am not stupid. I'm happy. Yay. |
| Posted by: Asimov Oct 29 2004, 08:46 PM | ||
Van Helsin was not fucking gay. It was awesome. I think it's all about the context you use the word in that makes it derogatory or not. |

Depends on what you call a "good reason" I allowed somene to drive my car knowing it was uninsured 30 days 2 in the county jail 28 days home monitoring I have a record I jay walked in Seattle 19 times I swam naked in a park after dark when the sign clearly stated that the park closed at dusk I once walked home from work in an area that was known for prostitution I drank a beer on my 16th birthday and I drove a car without a lisence This last offense Letting someone drive my uninsured car well the judge had had just about enough of my dangerous criminal behavior and decided society needed to be protected from me |

| If you can't say something nice, then eventually someone will come around and beat your ass for being an offensive jerk is what I always say. You can use whatever words you like, just don't act all surprised one day someone takes offense and clocks you for them. I think we like to forget that words and language do have power. A lot of power. So choose your words carefully. It's called being smart, not being PC.
So derogatory lanuage is only supposed to bother me if it's directed at me? Like I can't be offended by people calling things "gay" but if some moron says something like "that test raped me yesterday" I can get upset? Is that it? |

As a gay person I can honestly say that I am not offended by people using the word "gay" to denote something as stupid or asinine. I am only offended by people who deliberately try to offend me. I have much better things to do with my time than badger people over whether a word is appropriate or not.  |

Actually, where I come from, the little kiddies of today use the word "sick" in the same way that the kiddies of the past used the words "cool", "groovy", or "far-out". Does anyone remember "foodah!"? (No wonder we rub each other the wrong way, Rainy. We're both Leo's, and we were born 17 days apart.) Of course, those 17 days makes you much-much older than me....  |

| Posted by: I Broke Free Oct 31 2004, 05:54 PM | ||
I hope that was not too much of a shock for you Rainy?  Next time I will try and come out of the closet in stages. Seriously though, I use the word "gay" in the same way Eric Cartman on South Park does all the time. It's just a word. People are still upset they can't use it for being "happy" anymore. Why should I care that others have picked it up for something else. People who get pissed off over words are totally gay... |

| Posted by: Reach Nov 1 2004, 04:28 AM | ||
I agree, Cerise, that words are important and powerful. The use of them, for the thoughts they convey, can produce varied results: death, destruction, damage, neutrality, positive reinforcement, growth, life and every other thing in between. I try to choose my words carefully, having seen the pain and heartbreak that have come about by the use of casual words spoken by insensitive people. I respect words and I try to choose them with care. It's a matter of principle for me. I like being understood. It is not my position to judge the strengths and weaknesses of others and I've certainly no interest in focusing a lot of attention on determining which words will offend or injure, but I do have it within my power to not inflict further suffering by my words. Most of the time, I'm successful at that. I believe that communication is vital and so I take my words seriously. Some people may think I am too serious about words and too much of a literalist; so be it. On the other hand, this website is a powerful testimony to the power of words and the damage and destruction they have wielded, across the centuries and throughout many of our lives. Yes, Cerise, words are powerful. Reach |

| Posted by: I Broke Free Nov 1 2004, 06:41 AM | ||
Words are indeed very powerful, but the power lies with both the speaker and the listener. I also try and choose my words very carefully when I am sending an important message that I want to convey with clarity. However I do get annoyed at people who I know: 1)Did understand the message 2) Recognize that no insult was intended, 3) But take a kind of perverse pleasure at playing the victim. |
| Posted by: Reach Nov 1 2004, 06:50 AM | ||
Agreed, IBF. It's unfortunate that some people (listeners) intentionally choose to take another's words in the most offensive mode possible. They seem to thrive on their victimhood, having adopted the martyr's syndrome. Are they in search of attention and validation?  |
| Posted by: LloydDobler Nov 1 2004, 10:58 AM |

| Back to the topic...what if your name is Gay? |
| Posted by: sexkitten Nov 1 2004, 03:20 PM |
| I agree with Cerise, Reach, IBF, and Jjackson all at the same time. Words do have power, and it pays to choose them and use them carefully, to communicate clearly and to avoid unintended insult and misunderstanding. At the same time, declaring certain words now and forever taboo often gives the word more power than it had before, creates a victim mentality on top of legitimate hurt from the insult, and produces a climate of thought policing (as words form our thoughts, and eliminating words can eliminate thought. An individual person should choose their words carefully, and keep in mind when they use a word flippantly what that says about them. An individual word should not be made off-limits for the choosing. |

| Posted by: Mr. Neil Nov 1 2004, 09:45 PM |
| That's true. The people who get the most offended are the really high-strung straight people. I've had women get all pissy with me like, "I know someone who's gay, and I don't appreciate you using the word 'gay' as a negative term!" And my response is, "Are they cute?" |

| Hey, it's not my fault men are hot. At least I don't have a lisp or anything fruity like that. Aside from the whole liking-men part, I actually behave quite normally. Mmmm.. men...  Plus there are times when I'm not being gay at all. Like when I dream about my future wife Eliza Dushku. |
| Posted by: Fweethawt Nov 2 2004, 12:39 AM |
| I think men are hot too! 98.6 degrees ain't nothin' to sneeze at, ya'know. I don't have a lisp either. I speak quite clearly most of the time. Aside from random acts of silliness, I actually behave quite normally also. Then there are times when I'm not gay too. I don't like being around other people, and they don't like being around me when I'm in one of those moods. |

| Posted by: Mr. Neil Nov 2 2004, 12:41 PM | ||
Nah... We all use that word for a variety of reasons. I use it in both positive and negative ways. I don't think about it. I don't take it personally when other people use it. It's like the words honky or cracker. Those words don't bother me. I even use those words in jest. The thing is, I don't believe in "bad words". I'll be conservative about which words I use in certain company, but in general, I think it's silly to get upset about it. I know for a fact that when my friends say "That's gay", they don't mean me. Words are not bad. Intentions can be bad. Actions can be bad. Words are just words. |
| Posted by: The Acid Washed Messiah Nov 2 2004, 12:43 PM | ||
You should just say that some men smoke meatpoles and play in the mud. You can also say that some women mow grass and digitize pink. It will all become clear to your children when they're old enough for it to matter. Or you can just continue using, "gay." It's not like I single-handedly broke the word for everyone. That would just be gay. |

| Pretty soon the word "Gay" will be as versatile as the word "Fuck!" Then everybody who wants to be offended can have another reason to be offended. If you want to be offended, I can help. I'm a equal opportunity offender. |
| Posted by: Reach Nov 2 2004, 01:13 PM | ||
That's it right there. There clearly is a distinction between the words we comfortably use among our friends and those we use in other settings, like one's place of employment, perhaps. Likewise, my choice to be "conservative about which words I use in certain company" is a matter of prudence, not a matter of believing I need to tiptoe around those who are overly sensitive. |

| Acid - "smoke the meatpole?" I almost shot Mountain Dew out of my nose when I read that! I use the term 'gay' in the way that you and most people here do, and I have let it slip around my gay friends; they use it in the same way. It's just a slang word meaing lame or stupid, IMO. What's really gay is the fact that I am at work at 6:52 PM on a Saturday night and I have to be here until 9! So very gay.... |

| I don't like saying "oh that's so gay" - I think that's offensive to people who are homosexuals. I don't think its appropriate. But you know what they say "To each his own." |

| I use gay as a common insult but not much in public, mostly with my friends who know I'm bi and are bi. Also, very very occasioally I use faggot, but I have a different definition than most. Ever seen the new Dawn of the Dead? The rich guy who says "Well, dead-ish" and owns the yacht? He's my definition of a fag. And he's on-camera straight. |

| I know this is an old thread, but what the hell. When the Presidential race my mom called John Kerry a faggot in front of me (I'm gay). And I said to her "I don't give a FUCK what you think about John Kerry or anybody else, you NEVER use that word in my presence EVER again!" And she said "Oh, I didn't mean it like that." I HATE that word. When people say that something is "gay" it really irritates me, but when someone uses that word I get infuriated.
I wouldn't call him a fag, but if he's gay I wouldn't mind doin him! |

| Faggot is a really nasty word , agreed. Notice how none of the terms are really directed at lesbians. Most guys would refer to them as 'cool' !Do you guys in the US describe things as being 'bent'? Other words used in the UK are 'puff' or 'puffter', bum bandit, shirt-lifter and nob jockey. My personal creations are 'playing the meat flute' , 'putting in the rough' and 'smoking a skin joint' Are there any terms used by the gay community to describe straight people (straight guys especailly, apart from jerk!) There must be stuff like "That is sooo straight" meaning it is a bit basic and lacking in style!!! |

| I call straight people "straights." |

I mean, fag to me means ... well, it means the kind of snobby uncaring assholes that were gay at my high school ... but without the gay part. If someone called a gay friend a fag they'd be bleeding on the pavement. I get VEWWY protective of my friends. |

| My insults tend to be pretty long-winded. For example: "That is so gay. And not in the cool homosexual way. In the way that means you suck. Because that is so incredibly gay." |

I once used "hetero" as an insult. I think it was in reference to an episode of King Of The Hill. |

I sometimes tell people I'm "heterophobic." I got that off of Queer as Folk. |

| I have an acquaintance of mine whose sister is homosexual. She calls heterosexuals, 'Breeders'. |

Just two questions, dude. 1. Do you want to beat my ass? 2. Do you care if I get married? If your answer is NO to both, it's cool. Actually, that question was pretty gay. |
| Posted by: Mo Biggsley Jan 27 2005, 04:45 AM |
| That question was fabulous! |

Actually I'm on the Million for Marriage mailing list and I plan to officiate a lesbian marriage in June (I'm a ULC minister), so uh, no. Well, unless I find pictures of myself on the internet, passed out, with your balls on my face. Then I'll kick your ass. |

Great! I feel much better then. I've been fighting the marriage battle. I actively campaigned against the amendment to the Georgia constitution to define marriage as the man - woman thing. Of course it passed w/ 73%. But the republicans that rushed it on the ballot, screwed up and it's going to be overturned. Eventually the Supreme Court is going to rule and they'll all be gone.
No chance of that. I don't think you frequent the sites that I'd post it on. And anyway, just cause I'm Gay, it doesn't mean I'm gay.' I'm a butch kinda guy I might just hold ya down, call ya Mary and make you beg for those balls. Seriously, use gay anyway you want. It's one of my favorite words, too. |
