The use of the word "Gay" as an insult

Sim Kid · 06-19-2009, 08:25 PM

Yeah, I love how something with no gender (And therefore no sexuality) or emotion can somehow be "Gay".

Metal Man · 06-19-2009, 08:30 PM

Yeah, you don't see people going 'That's straight!' as an insult either.

What if it's a robot, designed to be homosexual? (ie: probably Jewelman)

...okay, still not appropriate, I guess. This generation seems to have spread things related to homosexuality around as an insult. It'll continue, no doubt about it, though stuff like that never ends.

For once, someone understands! I can't stand when people call things they don't like "gay," as if being gay is bad. -CSM

"And now was acknowledged the presence of the Red Death. He had come like a thief in the night. And one by one dropped the revellers in the blood-bedewed halls of their revel, and died each in the despairing posture of his fall. And the life of the ebony clock went out with that of the last of the gay." -The Masque of the Red Death, E. A. Poe

This is the only way I use "gay", and not really that often do I use it.

The Flattest Pancake · 06-22-2009, 06:17 PM

WTF? I only use the word gay when i'm increadebly happy!

***CaptHayfever*** · 06-22-2009, 06:20 PM

How about we use the words "Perez Hilton" as an insult?

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

When anyone calls me gay as an insult I immediatly begin acting like the most flamboyant gay man alive.

It sure as hell pisses of the counter strike faygs and Wangstas.

This brings up a philosophical question:

If a hermaphrodite were to be in a relationship, would that be homosexual, heterosexual, or both?

**Valigarmander** · 06-23-2009, 01:20 AM

^ It would be awesome.

What if there were TWO hermaphrodites in a relationship? Is that gay, straight, double-gay or double-straight? Or can they just choose one at will?!

And I use gay as an expression of not liking something. If people pick at every little thing we say, then "f*ck" should be taken literally as well, along with every other word used as an insult or expression.

For me this subject is a lil hard... I have SEVERAL gay friends *and myself* who use gay left and right... we all laugh about it and joke about it... I mean, technically, gay USED to mean happy and a fag in England is a cigarette... so i don't know I mean if you're doing it in a joking matter and your with your friends and they understand that aspect of it *shrugs* It's like blacks using the term "n" with each other but the second a white person says it? AWWW SHYT RUN... there's a few other things that I've heard too, but it's a "In culture/In lifestyle" thing.

**Valigarmander** · 06-23-2009, 06:14 PM

I never really use the word "gay" to describe anything outside of it's actual meaning (homosexual, or in rare cases HAPPY).

I do use the adjective "retarded" a lot, though.
