i am sick of hearing the word gay being tossed around so carelessly. "that song is so gay!" how does that make ANY sense? does that song like other songs of the same gender? am i missing something here..?

i want people to know that i am gay and i find it very offensive to hear people use gay instead of stupid. i am gay. does that make me stupid?

if you are jewish and someone said "that movie is so jewish", you would get offended because jewish does not mean stupid. this is the same exact scenario: a minority being discriminated.

so why do people do this, and how do i get them to stop? =(

The word "gay" has different meanings. As you know, it can mean "happy, lively." Or it can mean "homosexual." And nowadays, it's also used to mean "corny, silly, stupid." I think that most people who use it in that way (and it's usually kids) aren't even thinking about it having anything to do with a gay person.
