'Gay'

Saturday, April 5, 2003 by Jafo | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

gay [Homosexual] /gei/ adj. infml - HOMOSEXUAL

gay /gei/ n. [C] infml

gay [Happy] /gei/ adj. dated (of a person) happy, or (of a place) bright and attractive.


OK....so, if 'gay' is used, along with > as a comment on a wallpaper, etc, it is clearly none of these meanings but is, in fact, the modern childish derogatory colloquial that equates 'gay' [or homosexual] as sub-standard in some way, and is intended as a comment expressing displeasure.

However, what it ACTUALLY IS, is a self-declaration of the commenter's immaturity and lack of communicative vocabulary.
It is also inappropriate, and grounds for Exiling/exclusion from participating on this site.

why not just say "I hate it" as well as any suggestions as to how to make it so you would like it and just leave any slurs, intentional or otherwise out of it hehe. I never bought into the whole "if you have nothing nice to say dont say anything" as the only way ppl learn is by ppl being honest with em condcerning their opinions. Thing is can just say it instead of trying to be trendy with the insults so your message gets across better.

Wont say another word to this thread, I promise hehe
