The use of the word "gay"

I have been a NS member for a long time. The use of 'gay' as a derogatory term needs to stop. Weither it be on the message boards, in response to videos, or on the hills. It's time to clean it up and remember that we too are on somewhat of a fringe. There is no need for it.

if you want to clean up so badly, than why do you have 'fuck' in your signature

'Fuck' is not a term used for a group of people. 'Gay' is, and should not be used to describe something offensively. It's the same when somthing is described wrongly as 'Jewish.' There is no fuck-ese people to be offended, but there are gays and jews. It's a stupid idea anyway, no one ever says, 'Well, that's caucasian.' It just proves ignorance, and serves no purpose around people with brain cells.

i also have a problem with people who use the word 'gay' interchangable with the word 'stupid' espicaly when they are talking about a class or a movie... things which obviously do not have a sexual preference.

i use it because its a habit, i recently met a gay kid that goes to school with me,and being around him has made me realize that i should really stop using gay in place of stupid

so people can be offended by 'gay' but not 'fuck'? They are two different types of words describing two different things, but they are both offensive. I'm not condoning the use of gay as cool word because it isn't. Although it is hypocritically to complain about one offensive word while blatantly using another.

actually id like to take back what i just said, its not the dictionary meaning of a word that matters, its the context its used in. because when i say gay it shouldnt offend people unless i say like wow that movie has sex with other guy movies it dooesnt have anything to do with gay people

Im very gay today

Hey everyone I have a Downhill bike for sale a Intense M1 it has XT and Race face componets plus brand new Monster T this is a no joke bike and Im selling for cheap!!!!
 
And try to remember that gay also means happy.

My friend asked from his english teacher once

'Are you gay?'

'Yes, Im very gay today'

it all depends on how society interprets the word, and in the case of 'gay' way back when it was probly first used it meant happy.

example: Look all the little skiers having a gay old time.

and that word, gay, used in that manner is also in the song Auld Lang Syne(i think, but its some famous song thats got it), quite famous. so that definition will never be forgotten

then came along the world of homosexuals... i have no idea how or why they chose the word gay to describe their sexual preference but they did. so now we dropped the meaning happy and adopted 'men fucking in the ass'.

example: Mom, Dad; i heard Timmy talking about telling everyeone hes gay.

Now that definition is still used today, however OUR society, that being the one of people and kids our age, associated the word with people/things/objects/places that we dont like. becuase in fact we were brought up not to like/hate gays. thereforer we adopted that word to represent things we dont like, which also brings in the whole realm of gay-associated words like homo, homosexual, fag, fruit, queer etc... which share that same purpose, of showing dissapproval.

example: Tommy quit being gay. or What? are you gay?

so it is all really a progression of society, and if you track back the definatiions and the origons of the word, in this case, gays brought it upon themselves to be made reference to in this way, this deraugetory way. so in a sense you could say it is their (the homosexuals) fault for all this everyday hatred towards gays.

but really when you call your friend gay, or a fag, you really mean to reference him with a bunch of guys pownding eachother in teh ass??? no, its just societys current word for idiot. and jsut like a fad, if you give it sometime it will most likely fade away.

Theres no point in using the word gay to describe something you find bad or dumb. Why not just say stupid. There are hundreds of other words out there so i definately agree that the use of the word on this site should stop. i've made all my friends stop saying it because i think its a very bad thing

-Whats so fucking wrong, and whats so anti-establishment about the idea of peace? Why is wanting to know the truth so anti establishment?

These aren't anti-establishment ideas, these are Pro fucking peace ideas-
 
I find 'fuck' more offensive than 'gay'. And what does your being a member of NS for a long time have to do with you thinking we should stop calling stuff 'gay'?

i dont find anything wrong with gay. if i call my friend gay i mean hes stupid. i dont mean hes homo. i dont say gay to make fun of my friend and make fun of gays at the same time. i do it to point out the fact that hes stupid.

calling stuff gay is just a way of showing you have nothing intelligent to say. When i hear it i usally have the same response. For example.

- 'Dude, potatoe chips are so gay.'

my response - 'You mean they like to have sex with other potatoe chips of the same gender?'

gay has become a slang word. 20 years ago saying ass was horrible, but now its common. get the fuck over it. its not like if any of us met a gay person we would kick the shit out of him.

and if ur gonna get all techincal about it, gay means happy, not homosexual, so its not right to use a word that is slang for homosexual in another slang tense?

^couldnt have put it better myself. stop carrying your balls in a purse; you dont always have to be politically correct.

and maybe people who pound each other in the poopchutes do deserve a derogatory name to go along with it, that we are able to use against them at all times...

never_summer, I'm a 'little' fourteen year old.. search all my posts and look for the word gay instead of stupid or dumb if you want to. Not all 'little' fourteen year olds use it to act 'cool'. I have the same feelings as most of you, that gay is not a word to describe something dumb.

 
ya lets stop that saying, because not all of us are one of those homophobic faggots.

now this makes me wonder...whats wrong with being afriad of homos? whats the point of someone calling somone a homophobe? i dont see anything wrong with being a little nerved or scared by gays.

I seriously do not hate homosexuals. I do not support gay marriage, I call people gay fags, stupid queers, butt pirates, and use the words gay and faggotish all day long. HOWEVER... I do not hate the gays, yes THE gays, simply the fact that they are living in sin.

Oh yeah, and Bush speaking out against homosexual marriage is freakin awesome. Marriage is the most tried and true method of ensuring a secure and normal family life and it literally holds all moral value intact. Growing up with two moms or two dads is in no way healthy, its the same as a single mom or single dad. Hell, even Clinton was semi-against gay marriage.

Quote of the week:Yeah, thanks Jodi's mom, for the blowjob... I always give in when she busts out the Werther's Originals!

 
I don't really care about the marrage part, I just thinkit is refuckingtarded that gays can;t get tax benifits and shit like that and that is becuase they can't get married. they should have the same rights as us straight people

in mass some people say it so much they don't even think of the literal meaning anymore, like the word 'dork'.

 
whoever posted this thread should give themself a pat on the back

when you call someone or something gay, your saying that they are homosexual and you are refering homosexuality as something negative, so whoever says 'i dont hate gays but when i call something gay i dont mean it' its hypocritical.

also, if you hate gays for some fucked up reason, why the fuck are you using gay as an insult? what is this, grade 2? 'ryan is gay' AHAHAHAHA WOW YOUR KNOW THE BEST INSULTS. get some better insults, ass ramming penguin head

 
uh ha ha pole smoker ha ha ha .

but your forgetting, on this forum for example, people dont just say thats gay, meaning its dumb. people are like 'oh, fagjibber likes it up the ass' or go have sex with your dad' so dont even try to say we dont use sexual preference as a diss.

I was in the petting zoo, or as I like to call it, the touch me zoo this afternoon. All the animals were retarded. Some lady was breast feeding her baby on a bench nearby, an obvious signal. I sat down uncomfortably close to her and yawned my arm around her shoulder. In her attempt to squirm away, she dropped her baby on the ground. I pretended I was concerned for a second, then I punted it over the fence. She still didn't seem interested in me. Whatever.
