Give the word gay back, everyone, it means to be happy or merry! Did that funny looking statue look like that? Did that female queer look that way? I think not.
@im5000degrezz Yeah as if you had a choice, man. -.- do you really think anyone says "Hey I'm gonna get gay now because I think it's cool." ?
Or "Hey I'm gonna stop being gay now because it's a waste of time..." And Baamm they're streight? I think it's you who shouldn't be able to reproduce.
@im5000degrezz neither can old people, so being old is DISGUSTING and a a waste of time at least gays could adopt, if your are old its not really worth it because if you are on retirement you cant work and couldn't afford besides you are ready to die
that said CHRISTIANITY IS A LIFESTYLE OF CHOICE AND SHOULD BE BANNED AND OUTLAWED
EVERYONE: don't ever say anything to offend anyone and don't ever put people in uncomfortable situations. The world needs to be a perfect, safe place.
Religion does not cause homophobia, its common sense. Hello did it not take a man and a woman to bring you to life? Mother nature made a man and a woman to procreate. lets say you lived in a world with just gay man, how long will that last? you guys cannot have babies. Please im tired of people wanting me to accept something that even with religion aside does not make sense. I dont want to insult anyone but this commercials on TV are just annoying.
@TheTrutalk you can't accept it because it doesn't make sense to you.....that's your key statement. All discrimination is based on fear of the unknown and ignorance. If you spent some time getting to know a person who's sexual orientation is different....just get to know the person (their sexuality is such a small part of who they are). You'll see they were born that way. That's their normal. They are not able to 'procreate' - but I think relationships go a bit deeper than that functionality
Meh, "That's so gay" isn't directed AT anyone. Nobody said "That's such a n*****" or something along those lines, but they WOULD call a black person a n***** and that's what made it offensive. Same deal with cursing- I don't like hearing F*** or S*** and would never say it, but as long as you're not just tearing someone down, it's fine. "That's so gay" isn't as homophobic as you're claiming.
"In hindsight everyone sees how narrow-minded it was to believe black people and white people couldn't attend the same schools, and none of my students would ever think of supporting segregation"
--------------------
No - nor would they, presumably, suggest segregation for homosexual and heterosexual people. But they might well use a phrase like "This was a black day for the economy." Would you have a problem with that?
@roquefort88888 I don't use the word "black" in that context. More importantly, if you had a problem with the word used in that context I would understand why. If you had a big enough problem with that usage, you might even go to some lengths to persuade others that it is insensitive as well. For example, you might make a video to put on YouTube showing examples of the way the word "black" has gained negative connotations which offend some people.
Hope some of your high school students have the heroism to stand up to language fascism.

The word "gay" has a number of different meanings. Your attempts to limit it to just one are actually attempts to shut off avenues of linguistic expression.
This is a good video. It rationally makes a very good point. When recently Vince Vaughn's character made a "that's so gay" joke in the movie the dilemma and then he came out in public to defend the use of the joke, gay groups rationally explained why it was so hurtful -- to no avail. He thought it was just humor. To make a point that it was not just humor I have made a video "that's so Vince Vaughn's Mother's Pussy." Put in Youtube search bar "watch?v=6jLLaCywSmc" Thanks
So A word which once ment to mean "happy" or "cheerful" can evolve into a slang word for "homosexual" but can not evolve into a slang word to mean "Stupid" why not? Just like "Fag" which a term for a cigarette as well aa educational practice in British boarding private schools (nearly all "public schools" in the English sense) and also many other boarding schools, whereby younger pupils were required to some extent to act as personal servants to the most senior boys. ...
Okay. This IS gay. As in stupid. As in, what in the blue and yellow blazes does skin color have to do with sexual behaviour? That's like comparing a turtle to a firecracker. And why should you object to my use of the word, anyway? It's YOUR word.
Actually, this is gay. Why is it gay? Because you kiss so much ass, and you don't know who's ass it is. Oh wait- you do know who's ass it is! Your kissing homosexual's ass right on the anus! You ARE gay! XD
In any case, someone needs to do something about people being harassed or beaten, but dont try to get rid of freedom of speech. People also call things "retarded" even when not referring to people. People have called me a spic, wetback, etc. yeah, its annoying, offensive, but i get over it, and say something offensive to them, its all a part of freedom of speech. When speech turns into bullying then we have a problem.
@tonydelacruz45 You don't get it. Nobody is taking away your freedom of speech. Say what you will. But when you expose yourself as being insensitive to a group of people, just realize there are consequences. You'll lose their respect, and that of others who are also offended, and thus you will lose your credibility with those groups. This is the marketplace of ideas, and fewer and fewer people are buying what you're selling. BTW: abusive speech IS bullying.
@johnboegman: Maybe you don't get it because you are uneducated or refuse to read entire paragraphs before posting comments, but again, what is the point of having an offensive woman like Wanda Sykes talking about not offending people? Her entire career is based on offending people, yet she doesn't like it when people offend her? Very hypocritical! Maybe you can Google "hypocrite" if you don't know the definition. Btw, I am bullying no one, and the people in these videos were abusing no one.
@johnboegman: Lastly I am not trying to sell a product am I? Even if I was people would probably buy it anyways if it is good, even if the CEO is insensitive to gay people, only gay people wouldn't buy it. Another example, if Glenn Beck writes a book someone will buy it, I wont, but there will be someone. Also, why are these people so sensitive to begin with? Maybe they need therapy. Also, as I said before, no one is trying to take away my freedom of speech, but who knows maybe its the 1st step.
@johnboegman: You know, this is dumb, right now, instead of you using your time on some1 who actually bullies, and/or harasses homosexuals, you decide to reply to my threads, really? Think about it, as I stated before, I never say, "that's gay", but I am considering it, why? Do I hate gay people? No, but like George Carlin stated, anyone who takes themselves too seriously deserves to be made fun of, I am just saying, you whine about small things, some1 is going to say, "that's gay" a lot more.
@tonydelacruz45 What a tool! Count the number of posts you've made and then count mine. Now who is wasting his time? Find a new hobby Mr. Delacruz. Your privileges for commenting on my video have been suspended due to overuse.
@johnboegman You mean a man acting like a woman and reaping the consequences of a mental sickness that lefties are trying to wrap in the "civil rights" blanket.....?
- Go back to college and talk to a weak-minded freshman that is void of common sense like yourself.
The point is, we live in a country with freedom of speech, this means that you can say that being gay is an abomination, or you can say people are born gay, its up to you, when you start suggesting making laws trying to ban freedom of speech, I am sorry, but you are being a fascist. I know gay people, and let me tell you, gay people use the words gay, and faggot to describe other homosexuals even in a derogatory manner. Let me remind you, Perez Hilton called Will i am a "faggot".
@tonydelacruz45 Of course there is freedom of speech in the USA (and many other countries). But there is also "freedom to judge people based on what they say", and I generally think people who say "that's so gay" meaning "that's awful" are kind of stupid and unimaginative and perhaps 15 years old.
@shmuli9: Well maybe back in the day, when someone started using the word gay to mean a homosexual, rather than happy as it was before, someone called that immature to mean homosexual rather than happy. Like I said, I don't really use this phrase, but I am tempted to use it. And come on, Wanda Sykes? Seriously? her entire career was based on offending people and now she is getting offended? This is just like that asshole Tom Green playing jokes on people and then someone burned his house down.
@shmuli9: Dude get an education will you. Do you not understand the irony of someone who makes a career of offending people telling others not to offend people? Already they are going to cause more people to use this phrase just because of the hypocrisy of this stupid commercial. You take yourself too seriously, you can call things black, I dont care, you can be gay, I dont care, hell you can even tell me and others not to say "thats gay" but give it a rest, its not gonna happen, deal with it.
@tonydelacruz45 As I said, people are free to say whatever they want (well I think there might be laws against saying things like "go kill people"), however, I personally think people who use "gay"to mean "lame" are kind of... ...idiots, though OF COURSE people who say things like "that's so gay" are so incredibly smart people, they are practically likeGod...
@shmuli9: I guess my issue, besides stupidity is that pretty soon, they are going to propose banning use of these words, which is fascism, you arer no better than those who want to ban gay marriage, or ban homosexuality, because they find it gross, seriously get a life, let people do (within reason, as long as it doesnt impend others rights) and say what they wish, you would expect the same in return, this is like telling homosexuals not to communicate with one another because its "offensive".
@shmuli9: I don't know, it could be you and the "dream police", haha. I don't know, in reality, people need to stop getting offended so easily, words are words, people just give words power. People are trying to say that if we use words like "that's gay", gay people are going to kill themselves, if that's all it takes for a certain gay person to kill themselves they really need to see a psychiatrist. Its like if som1says "that's so Mexican" like I'm going to cry and be offended and kill myself.
@tonydelacruz45 I HOPE nobody would kill themselves over a word. However, it WOULD make a lot of people annoyed if one used "Mexican" to mean "lame", or to put it another way, there are PLENTY of other words to use to mean this. "Gay" in this context just sounds, well, uneducated, though it seems that North American high schoolers have always aimed to appear as stupid (and ridiculously conformist) as possible.
@shmuli9: Well maybe, but that's just an opinion, there are a lot of other stupid figures of speech I guess. And yeah, high school students do try to conform all the time, that's just how it is, I cant tell you how many stupid things they do, including putting screwdrivers in electrical outlets because their friends were doing it, haha.
@tonydelacruz45 Indeed! When I was in high school, I tried to more or less conform, though I drew the line at things that were either dangeroud or extremely detrimental. As for the screwdriver thing, too funny! When I was in kindergarten, there was this awful kid who used to scratch people, unprovoked. We were all so happy when he decided to find out what would happen if he put a bobby pin in an electrical outlet. He ended up burning his arm and was out for the rest of the year. :-)
@shmuli9: That's funny, crazy thing about the kids I had witnessed play with electrical outlets was that they were in middle school, how stupid is that?
@tonydelacruz45 Yeah, by that age they should KNOW not to "play" with house current. I also (this amazed me even as a child, that ANY male person would do this) knew someone who in 4th grade or so, decided to see what would happen if he squezzed one of his testes with some pliers. Needless to say, I think he collapsed with that peculiar I'm nauseated" feeling before he did any damge.
@shmuli9: To top it off, there are some gay people who use this term as well, people need to quit being whiny little babies. Beating up, and harassing people based on their race, religion, or sexual preference is unacceptable, but these fools, especially Wanda Sykes, are stupid! This is like the term "retarded" when you are talking about things that are stupid, how many people are offended by that? You are not fighting any real issue you are just trying to stop people from using big scary words.
@shmuli9: Yes, judge people all you want, but people who say that's gay might have a better phrase, but for the time being people who complain about people who say "that's gay" are ultimately the bigger idiots, especially when Ms. Sykes is one of those people who are on your side.
@deadmanshandy so dont watch it. if your watching something you dont like then leaving a comment your the one being an imbecile by showing the whole youtube world that you have no life. either that, or your secretly agreeing with this video but you dont want anyone to know. or, both.
im gay and i HATE when people say "thats so gay" you wouldnt say "thats so asian" or "thats so straight" so WHY THE HELL DO PEOPLE HAVE TO SAY "GAY"??? they can just use the real word like "thats so annoying" or "Thats so stupid" without saying "thats so gay" good video!! i liked it and im subscribing!!!
@fredluver12 Protip: Gay also means happy. Happy people should also be offended? Stop being a perpetual fucking victim, grow a spine, and get on with your life. You're acting pretty fucking gay right now, bro.
- Maybe because the act of man love is hideous, repulsive, and will never be socially acceptable no matter what 9 judges determine. Among gays, you hear the word queer so what are you bustin other peoples balls for?
so apparently, 44.1 % of the American population goes out on Fridays and just starts beating the shit out of gays like they did to blacks 50 or 70 years ago......interesting, but dont really think so.
@ermaclob You misread the graphic. Out of a sample of 6,209 LGBT students taken from all 50 states, 44.1% of them have reported suffering physical harassment while at school. Before you discount statistics, you should try harder to understand them.
3:21 I think hit me the most. I mean people really don't see how bad that is. Everyone will bitch out if a black man could not join the military, but people actually think discharging a man, stripping him of his medals just because he is gay. But shit never happens to a famous man who beats a woman. Sometimes I'm ashame to be an American.
@MrBisexuallySexy Look at it this way, have you noticed that woman do not always fight on the front lines in the military? Because straight men in the army would feel that as a man with a duty they have to defend her. The thing is though if a woman were to fight on the frontlines it would make things worse because a man would risk getting both of them killed i'm not sayign woman don't have those rights but it's nature for men. As for gay, you can't be falling in love with your gunner.. Seriously
@Kelzek93 So what you are saying that there should not be any gay men because of the risk of falling in love. Then take out the women too. They are attracted to men as well. Gay men dont fall in love with every man they meet. The government is taking away Gay's rights and I believe that it goes against everything man has fought for. ALL HUMAN BEINGS SHOULD HAVE EQUAL RIGHTS. Woman has their rights, Afrian Americans has their rights. Why should the LGBT still have to fight for our rights?
@MrBisexuallySexy My comment didn't have much to do with that, my comment was about the frontlines and gays and women. Here's an example, do you want your party to be at danger of an attack because a man falls in love with your gunner? No, men in uniform are your BROTHERS & SISTERS in arms. If i saw one of my countries soldiers holding hands with the other i'd hurl. And most gays are passive and are not meant to be killers or fighters. War isn't call of duty, its a sad and gruesome human nature.
@Kelzek93 Okay one thing there are plenty of men who are capable to fight. I know many men and women that knows how to fight. I doubt in the time of a battle you'll catch two men or two women holding hands. Its more likely that a man and woman will hold hands. There is no way I can change the way you think nor can you can change mines. Lets just say how would you feel if the army wouldn't let your race, skin color etc in the army because of a stereotype? Wouldn't you fight? Just answer that.
-shrugs- i say 'that's so gay' and i am bisexual. i don't say it as an all-encompassing insult for everything I find stupid, but i do use it when someone who IS straight is doing something really gay. the thing about it is, i'm secure enough in my sexuality to the point where saying shit like that doesn't bother me in the slightest. at the end of the day, is it going to hurt my feelings if you call me 'dyke' if i indulge in dyke behavior? nope.
@mercuri189 wow what a ridiculous comment to make, what are you 12? Do you not see a problem with the fact that the word Gay is being used to describe something negative or used to insult someone? nobody uses that's so nigger or that's so hetero so why the fuck should this be any different. But your bisexual so I guess that explains your dumb way of thinking.
Funny you should ask me if I'm 12. I was 11 when I realized I wasn't straight. That was 9 years ago. As a matter of fact, the only people who use 'that's so gay' are 12 year olds. So bisexual is a dumb way of thinking? With that kind of logic, I bet you think homosexuality is a downright disorder, huh? Who cares if someone says 'that's so gay'? It's not like they're committing a hate crime. There are bigger issues facing the LBGTQ community that are more important than 'that's so gay'. Like HIV.
@mercuri189 How often do you see someone who is heterosexual do something homosexual? Personally, I hardly ever see anyone do anything sexual at all, so attaching hetero- or homo- labels to their behavior just seems a little wrong.
The only gay thing there is, is to be in love or have sex with someone of the same sex.
No single sets of behaviours are gay/straight etc, sexuality doesn't define people.
What you fail to see is that words compose how we think about thinks, and almost everyone has negative connotations to the word gay, just like the word nigger, therefore by using the word you are reinforcing a negative stereotype of how ALL people who are homosexual act.
I try to use the word lame Im just so accustomed to using it, and no I did this recently before I noticed eanyone mention it (sorry for my bad english I dropped out lol)
When people say gay they don't mean to insult homosexuals - it's just become a word with 2 meanings, either something that is stupid/annoying, or homosexual (rather than meaning happy as it used to, word meaning changes over time). Also, homosexuality is not related to a single gene, it is very deeply inbuilt into our dna, as to some extent it offers a selective bonus to a society at the cost of the individual, a form of altruism.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Being gay has NOTHING to do with DNA. If evolution placed gays as the "strongest", or whatever, in natural selection, then no one would exist. Plus, evolution is a sad joke that has been proven impossible milions of times. Being gay is a spiritual problem, and not physical. It starts in the head, it ENDS in the head. Plus, God destroyed Sodom and Gomorah for their unrelenting sin, even though he warned them time and time again that judgement would come.
What cave do you live in, dumbass? Evolution has a fuckton of evidence, you'd have to drive spikes through your eyes not to see it, which you do by believing in god, ultimately blinding you for your reason. And yes, homosexuality has a lot to do with DNA. God does not exist. Now stop worrying and live your life.
Amazing video, love it! Also, this song is a great choice for this issue. ((Plus the fact that I adore that movie.xD)) But, this is going on my gay rights playlist once I get on my other account. Thanks so much for this upload. I am bisexual, bigender and in high school. I understand that graph and the statistics.
Out of curiosity, would you mind if I showed this at my school's GSA?
Really??? You're comparing what the African American community had to go through to hearing some one say "That's so gay"??? You have got to be kidding me!!! The difference between racism and what the gays think is discrimination is so vast that you must be a moron to think to compare the two! Blacks were not "verbally harassed" in schools, they were not allowed in them! If you guys want sympathy then stick to the facts, but don't try to compare the two situations! Doing that is just ignorant!
I wonder what Matthew Shepard would say to that. You think Matthew Shepard was an anomaly perhaps? You think violence hasn't been directed at gay people under protection of the law? Hmm...the veil of ignorance seems to hang in front of you, my friend. The pity is that this is after the lessons of the civil rights movement. Seems you didn't learn much.
It's not the violence, every group that's ever been different has had to deal with violence, it's the exclusion. You may feel like an outcast, but blacks were actually cast out of schools, not because of a choice, but for their skin color. You can think what you will, but in the end being gay is a choice, whereas your race is not.
You make less and less sense each time you say something. Gay people haven't been excluded? Riiiiiight. And at what age did you make your choice about your sexuality?
According to the homos it's not a choice. But I like to think that evolution made the choice for me, because unlike homosexuals, evolution knows that you can't perpetuate the species through homosexual intercourse. Or if you want to be religious then you can believe that god, or whatever divine entity that you believe created us, would be offended by the idea that you think that you can do the sex thing better than how he created it to be done, and so he made me not gay. Take your pick.
Matthew Shepard is a gay college student who was murdered because of his sexuality in 1998. His murder shocked people of the U.S and Matthew Shepard Act against hate crime was passed afterward.
African Americans had to earn their respect, you guys should take a lesson. When African Americans show their pride in parades and gatherings, they don't perpetuate the worst stereotypes that people have of them, they show people why they should be respected. Gay people hurt their own image far more than anyone saying "that's so gay" ever could!
Black people had to "earn" their respect, huh? So when the Declaration of Independence says "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness," you feel it meant "Except for Black people. They still have to earn their civil rights?" And who is "you guys." Friend, stop incriminating yourself as one of the arrogant ignoramuses of the world.
Yeah, they had to earn their respect because people wouldn't give it to them! So rather than pissing and moaning about it, they decided to take a stand and show the racist morons that they were worthy of respect. They shouldn't have needed to, but when they weren't getting the respect that they deserved they made a positive statement and changed things.
Oh, and by "you guys" I meant all of the gay people out there who get offended by people saying "that's so gay" and so they decide to make moronic commercials about it, rather than actually doing anything about it. I also meant "you guys" who dress up like a bunch of weirdos and go to the gay "pride" parades, cementing in everyone's mind that gay people aren't deserving of respect. Your commercials are a joke, and so is your false sense of "pride."

In any case, someone needs to do something about people being harassed or beaten, but dont try to get rid of freedom of speech. People also call things "retarded" even when not referring to people. People have called me a spic, wetback, etc. yeah, its annoying, offensive, but i get over it, and say something offensive to them, its all a part of freedom of speech. When speech turns into bullying then we have a problem.
tonydelacruz45 1 year ago
@tonydelacruz45 You don't get it. Nobody is taking away your freedom of speech. Say what you will. But when you expose yourself as being insensitive to a group of people, just realize there are consequences. You'll lose their respect, and that of others who are also offended, and thus you will lose your credibility with those groups. This is the marketplace of ideas, and fewer and fewer people are buying what you're selling. BTW: abusive speech IS bullying.
johnboegman 1 year ago
@johnboegman: Maybe you don't get it because you are uneducated or refuse to read entire paragraphs before posting comments, but again, what is the point of having an offensive woman like Wanda Sykes talking about not offending people? Her entire career is based on offending people, yet she doesn't like it when people offend her? Very hypocritical! Maybe you can Google "hypocrite" if you don't know the definition. Btw, I am bullying no one, and the people in these videos were abusing no one.
tonydelacruz45 1 year ago
@johnboegman: Lastly I am not trying to sell a product am I? Even if I was people would probably buy it anyways if it is good, even if the CEO is insensitive to gay people, only gay people wouldn't buy it. Another example, if Glenn Beck writes a book someone will buy it, I wont, but there will be someone. Also, why are these people so sensitive to begin with? Maybe they need therapy. Also, as I said before, no one is trying to take away my freedom of speech, but who knows maybe its the 1st step.

@johnboegman: You know, this is dumb, right now, instead of you using your time on some1 who actually bullies, and/or harasses homosexuals, you decide to reply to my threads, really? Think about it, as I stated before, I never say, "that's gay", but I am considering it, why? Do I hate gay people? No, but like George Carlin stated, anyone who takes themselves too seriously deserves to be made fun of, I am just saying, you whine about small things, some1 is going to say, "that's gay" a lot more.

The point is, we live in a country with freedom of speech, this means that you can say that being gay is an abomination, or you can say people are born gay, its up to you, when you start suggesting making laws trying to ban freedom of speech, I am sorry, but you are being a fascist. I know gay people, and let me tell you, gay people use the words gay, and faggot to describe other homosexuals even in a derogatory manner. Let me remind you, Perez Hilton called Will i am a "faggot".
tonydelacruz45 1 year ago
@tonydelacruz45 Of course there is freedom of speech in the USA (and many other countries). But there is also "freedom to judge people based on what they say", and I generally think people who say "that's so gay" meaning "that's awful" are kind of stupid and unimaginative and perhaps 15 years old.
shmuli9 1 year ago
@shmuli9: Well maybe back in the day, when someone started using the word gay to mean a homosexual, rather than happy as it was before, someone called that immature to mean homosexual rather than happy. Like I said, I don't really use this phrase, but I am tempted to use it. And come on, Wanda Sykes? Seriously? her entire career was based on offending people and now she is getting offended? This is just like that asshole Tom Green playing jokes on people and then someone burned his house down.

@tonydelacruz45 As I said, people are free to say whatever they want (well I think there might be laws against saying things like "go kill people"), however, I personally think people who use "gay"to mean "lame" are kind of... ...idiots, though OF COURSE people who say things like "that's so gay" are so incredibly smart people, they are practically likeGod...

@shmuli9: I guess my issue, besides stupidity is that pretty soon, they are going to propose banning use of these words, which is fascism, you arer no better than those who want to ban gay marriage, or ban homosexuality, because they find it gross, seriously get a life, let people do (within reason, as long as it doesnt impend others rights) and say what they wish, you would expect the same in return, this is like telling homosexuals not to communicate with one another because its "offensive".

@shmuli9: I don't know, it could be you and the "dream police", haha. I don't know, in reality, people need to stop getting offended so easily, words are words, people just give words power. People are trying to say that if we use words like "that's gay", gay people are going to kill themselves, if that's all it takes for a certain gay person to kill themselves they really need to see a psychiatrist. Its like if som1says "that's so Mexican" like I'm going to cry and be offended and kill myself.
tonydelacruz45 1 year ago
@tonydelacruz45 I HOPE nobody would kill themselves over a word. However, it WOULD make a lot of people annoyed if one used "Mexican" to mean "lame", or to put it another way, there are PLENTY of other words to use to mean this. "Gay" in this context just sounds, well, uneducated, though it seems that North American high schoolers have always aimed to appear as stupid (and ridiculously conformist) as possible.
shmuli9 1 year ago
@shmuli9: Well maybe, but that's just an opinion, there are a lot of other stupid figures of speech I guess. And yeah, high school students do try to conform all the time, that's just how it is, I cant tell you how many stupid things they do, including putting screwdrivers in electrical outlets because their friends were doing it, haha.
tonydelacruz45 1 year ago
@tonydelacruz45 Indeed! When I was in high school, I tried to more or less conform, though I drew the line at things that were either dangeroud or extremely detrimental. As for the screwdriver thing, too funny! When I was in kindergarten, there was this awful kid who used to scratch people, unprovoked. We were all so happy when he decided to find out what would happen if he put a bobby pin in an electrical outlet. He ended up burning his arm and was out for the rest of the year. :-)

@shmuli9: That's funny, crazy thing about the kids I had witnessed play with electrical outlets was that they were in middle school, how stupid is that?
tonydelacruz45 1 year ago
@tonydelacruz45 Yeah, by that age they should KNOW not to "play" with house current. I also (this amazed me even as a child, that ANY male person would do this) knew someone who in 4th grade or so, decided to see what would happen if he squezzed one of his testes with some pliers. Needless to say, I think he collapsed with that peculiar I'm nauseated" feeling before he did any damge.
shmuli9 1 year ago
@shmuli9: To top it off, there are some gay people who use this term as well, people need to quit being whiny little babies. Beating up, and harassing people based on their race, religion, or sexual preference is unacceptable, but these fools, especially Wanda Sykes, are stupid! This is like the term "retarded" when you are talking about things that are stupid, how many people are offended by that? You are not fighting any real issue you are just trying to stop people from using big scary words.
tonydelacruz45 1 year ago
@shmuli9: Yes, judge people all you want, but people who say that's gay might have a better phrase, but for the time being people who complain about people who say "that's gay" are ultimately the bigger idiots, especially when Ms. Sykes is one of those people who are on your side.
tonydelacruz45 1 year ago
@tonydelacruz45 You're SO right. It IS just a word. So I think from now on, I'll say "that's so black" when I mean "that's awful".

MrBisexuallySexy 1 year ago
@MrBisexuallySexy Look at it this way, have you noticed that woman do not always fight on the front lines in the military? Because straight men in the army would feel that as a man with a duty they have to defend her. The thing is though if a woman were to fight on the frontlines it would make things worse because a man would risk getting both of them killed i'm not sayign woman don't have those rights but it's nature for men. As for gay, you can't be falling in love with your gunner.. Seriously
Kelzek93 1 year ago
@Kelzek93 So what you are saying that there should not be any gay men because of the risk of falling in love. Then take out the women too. They are attracted to men as well. Gay men dont fall in love with every man they meet. The government is taking away Gay's rights and I believe that it goes against everything man has fought for. ALL HUMAN BEINGS SHOULD HAVE EQUAL RIGHTS. Woman has their rights, Afrian Americans has their rights. Why should the LGBT still have to fight for our rights?
MrBisexuallySexy 1 year ago
@MrBisexuallySexy My comment didn't have much to do with that, my comment was about the frontlines and gays and women. Here's an example, do you want your party to be at danger of an attack because a man falls in love with your gunner? No, men in uniform are your BROTHERS & SISTERS in arms. If i saw one of my countries soldiers holding hands with the other i'd hurl. And most gays are passive and are not meant to be killers or fighters. War isn't call of duty, its a sad and gruesome human nature.
Kelzek93 1 year ago
@Kelzek93 Okay one thing there are plenty of men who are capable to fight. I know many men and women that knows how to fight. I doubt in the time of a battle you'll catch two men or two women holding hands. Its more likely that a man and woman will hold hands. There is no way I can change the way you think nor can you can change mines. Lets just say how would you feel if the army wouldn't let your race, skin color etc in the army because of a stereotype? Wouldn't you fight? Just answer that.

But your bisexual so I guess that explains your dumb way of thinking.
3DeepCuts 1 year ago
Funny you should ask me if I'm 12. I was 11 when I realized I wasn't straight. That was 9 years ago. As a matter of fact, the only people who use 'that's so gay' are 12 year olds. So bisexual is a dumb way of thinking? With that kind of logic, I bet you think homosexuality is a downright disorder, huh? Who cares if someone says 'that's so gay'? It's not like they're committing a hate crime. There are bigger issues facing the LBGTQ community that are more important than 'that's so gay'. Like HIV.
mercuri189 1 year ago
@mercuri189 How often do you see someone who is heterosexual do something homosexual? Personally, I hardly ever see anyone do anything sexual at all, so attaching hetero- or homo- labels to their behavior just seems a little wrong.
johnboegman 1 year ago
@mercuri189
The only gay thing there is, is to be in love or have sex with someone of the same sex.
No single sets of behaviours are gay/straight etc, sexuality doesn't define people.
What you fail to see is that words compose how we think about thinks, and almost everyone has negative connotations to the word gay, just like the word nigger, therefore by using the word you are reinforcing a negative stereotype of how ALL people who are homosexual act.

When people say gay they don't mean to insult homosexuals - it's just become a word with 2 meanings, either something that is stupid/annoying, or homosexual (rather than meaning happy as it used to, word meaning changes over time). Also, homosexuality is not related to a single gene, it is very deeply inbuilt into our dna, as to some extent it offers a selective bonus to a society at the cost of the individual, a form of altruism.
AlexBraith 2 years ago
This comment has received too many negative votes show
Being gay has NOTHING to do with DNA. If evolution placed gays as the "strongest", or whatever, in natural selection, then no one would exist. Plus, evolution is a sad joke that has been proven impossible milions of times. Being gay is a spiritual problem, and not physical. It starts in the head, it ENDS in the head. Plus, God destroyed Sodom and Gomorah for their unrelenting sin, even though he warned them time and time again that judgement would come.

The difference between racism and what the gays think is discrimination is so vast that you must be a moron to think to compare the two! Blacks were not "verbally harassed" in schools, they were not allowed in them! If you guys want sympathy then stick to the facts, but don't try to compare the two situations! Doing that is just ignorant!

johnboegman 2 years ago
It's not the violence, every group that's ever been different has had to deal with violence, it's the exclusion. You may feel like an outcast, but blacks were actually cast out of schools, not because of a choice, but for their skin color. You can think what you will, but in the end being gay is a choice, whereas your race is not.
Thatissooogay 2 years ago
You make less and less sense each time you say something. Gay people haven't been excluded? Riiiiiight. And at what age did you make your choice about your sexuality?
johnboegman 2 years ago
According to the homos it's not a choice. But I like to think that evolution made the choice for me, because unlike homosexuals, evolution knows that you can't perpetuate the species through homosexual intercourse. Or if you want to be religious then you can believe that god, or whatever divine entity that you believe created us, would be offended by the idea that you think that you can do the sex thing better than how he created it to be done, and so he made me not gay. Take your pick.

African Americans had to earn their respect, you guys should take a lesson. When African Americans show their pride in parades and gatherings, they don't perpetuate the worst stereotypes that people have of them, they show people why they should be respected. Gay people hurt their own image far more than anyone saying "that's so gay" ever could!
Thatissooogay 2 years ago
Black people had to "earn" their respect, huh? So when the Declaration of Independence says "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness," you feel it meant "Except for Black people. They still have to earn their civil rights?" And who is "you guys." Friend, stop incriminating yourself as one of the arrogant ignoramuses of the world.
johnboegman 2 years ago 2
Yeah, they had to earn their respect because people wouldn't give it to them! So rather than pissing and moaning about it, they decided to take a stand and show the racist morons that they were worthy of respect. They shouldn't have needed to, but when they weren't getting the respect that they deserved they made a positive statement and changed things.

Oh, and by "you guys" I meant all of the gay people out there who get offended by people saying "that's so gay" and so they decide to make moronic commercials about it, rather than actually doing anything about it.

Your commercials are a joke, and so is your false sense of "pride."
