I'm Gay - Bowling for Soup

[TheSlytherinluver]

We can all join hands and do ring anround the freaken rosy!: my new moto!

[M200InTeRvEnTiOnPro]

@GodFamilyCountryCorp get out all the hate, maybe one day you will be normal like the rest of us

[Brianna10million]

Guys, it's a song about being happy. Come on! Let out all the hate and just laugh for once! Just because there's 'gay' in the title doesn't mean we have to start a comment war. Be happy!

[Spazzymotto9000]

"Let's all do ring around the FREAKING rosy!" God, it's official, I bowl for soup now!

[loucalan]

16 dislikes is not gay's (:

just Kidding

[ShayMcSudonim]

Oh, I get it now.

"It's perfectly fine to be a happy individual" = "It's okay to be gay"

Song's been stuck in my head for two days and I just now got that.

[IronWeaselFan]

@ShayMcSudonim NO.... Gay means happy in French... So "It's perfectly fine to be a happy individual" = "It's perfectly fine to be a happy individual". It is a song about being happy, listen to the lyrics.

[iloveorangepizza]

@IronWeaselFan The song has a double meaning.

[IronWeaselFan]

@iloveorangepizza No, it doesn't... Jarret is married, and he's straight...

[kurtandblaine4ever]

Im bi pretty sure Im bi, and im gay right now :)

[XxJeffHardy438xX]

im not gay

[halfemoshit]

OMG THIS SONG IS PROBABLY THE MOST ORIGINAL SONG I'VE EVER HEARD. HAHAHAHAHHAHA SUPER FUNNY AS WELL. XD

[Archangelguerrilla]

HAHA IRONIC



[sanctuaryforthelost]

Where my fucking lala's at?

[LinkXToboeXAmaterasu]

I'm surprised how few people realise the song is referring to gay as in happy :/

Yes, they might have deliberately chosen the word gay as a pun, but that is no excuse to start hating. That's just what the song is about-calming down, letting all the hate and anger and negativity out, and being happy. Spread the love, ya'll! *skips away on a rainbow throwing flowers left and right whilst whistling the Andy Griffith's theme like Molly from Scrubs*

[JackThundersnow]

Seriously, why is everyone arguing over one word? You can interpret this song however you want, either way it's good. What's wrong with you people? You freak out because this song MIGHT allude to homosexuality.If you're that close minded that one word makes you shit-fit then I've got some news for you: gay people exist, they're people just like you and I. I'm not going to say to each his own, because your thinking is harmful to an entire group of people. Grow up and enjoy the song.

[LittleDrummerGrrl96]

This song is not about homosexuals. Gay means "happy." Great song, really.

[Meplusbuddies]

I'm pretty sure the song is referring the gay that means happy. T.T

[GodFamilyCountryCorp]

Gay always meant happy. Homosexuality is sinful.

[w3irdo13]

@GodFamilyCountryCorp Why? So what if someone likes to date the same gender? It doesn't make them a bad person.

[kittykatt1234]

@w3irdo13 only as bad as every other person apart from christ. 1st john would say "if you say there is no sin in you then you are a liar and the truth isnt in you." we are all guilty of the same sin reguardless if its homosexuality theft lust lies. Christ is the only one free of sin. I wish good ol family church ppl would get it when christ said "I have come to call not those who think they are rightious, but those who know they are sinners." aka everyone.

[w3irdo13]

@kittykatt1234 That doesn't explain why it's wrong to be gay. Isn't sexuality something you CAN'T choose? If you can't choose whether you like guys, girls, or both, then how is it a sin?

[ColorRobo]

@w3irdo13 I am really glad somebody else realizes this

[w3irdo13]

@ColorRobo Likwise.

[TheJuicymexican]

@GodFamilyCountryCorp you remind me of rapists and child molesters. if you can go out and tell someone they are going to hell for the way they are... i find you to be just as bad.

[animesweatpea]

@GodFamilyCountryCorp well i don't think its sinful. i wont say your wrong and be rude about your opinion but ive got a bunch of friends that arnt heterosexual and theyre really kind. so your pretty much saying that its sinful for my friends and other homosexuals to be themselves...and we all know that's not fair

[keepingituglyx]

@GodFamilyCountryCorp yeah and some people are GAY being homosexual, deal.

[NecromancerDemon1073]

@GodFamilyCountryCorp God gave humans free will. "It's perfectly fine to be a happy individual"

[WhatsMyAgeAgain2]

@GodFamilyCountryCorp

Do you really feel that way or are you just trollin'? If you do that's awful, and can you tell me exactly whats wrong with loving someone the same gender as you? I believe there is nothing wrong with it, and I those people were allowed to get married in my country. I don't think god is real.

[WhatsMyAgeAgain2]

@GodFamilyCountryCorp I was just telling you my opinion. I'm not foolish either.

[airbender74]

IM GAY (BOTH MEANINGS)

[brittbrat102007]

@airbender74 HELL YEAH!!!

[RokenZ300]

Sorry, I don't hate gay kids. Just the ones who think "oh you cant hit me im gay!" ... That is why I go out of my way to do so.

[krystal2261]

Wordplay: When you need to expose an idiot or two hundred.

Can we get some la-las in here please?

[patricktaylor1990]

What the fuck is all these messages talking about being gay as the song is about being happy not being a homosexual!

[eds0000]

@patricktaylor1990 Either uneducated people or people dealing with uneducated/jerkish internet trolls who offend people for a living.

[dkzumblee]

homophobia is gay~

[J037395]

I HATE GAY

[eds0000]

@J037395 Might you, by any chance, have a problem with gay people, even though this song has nothing to do with them?

[Foxxyownz]

@eds0000 are you ghey?

[eds0000]

@Foxxyownz Go troll My Little Pony videos, demon.

[Foxxyownz]

@eds0000 I am not your gay servant.

[eds0000]

@Foxxyownz Go eat a spoonfull of troll fat.

[Foxxyownz]

@eds0000 You hurt my feelings..

[eds0000]

@Foxxyownz Good.

[HoNkHoNk9001]

@J037395 gay can mean happy to you know.

[eds0000]

HUMANITY, Y U SO RETARDED?ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)

This comment is devoted to the internet trolls below.

[MetroJet2000]

WILL ALL YOU IDIOTS JUST SHUT THE HELL UP ABOUT BEING GAY OR STRAIGHT? The damn song isn't even about being a homo or not, Jesus Christ, grow up already.

[smoogirl]

I'm straight, but I'll be damned if i don't support two guys being together. Kukukukuku :)

[PhasmaPaula]

You people know that gay is just an old word for happy, right? That's why in the Flintstones theme there's a line that says "We'll have a gay old time".

[J037395]

I hate guys who r gay or bi but with girls its all hot ;)

[sanctuaryforthelost]

@J037395 Fuck you! You are a narrow minded little fuck!

[J037395]

@sanctuaryforthelost says the gay kid... I'm refering to u btw

[sanctuaryforthelost]

@J037395 I'm not gay, I'm bi. And I am the one that has to live with it, And I'm fine with it. So what the fuck is your problem? Maybe you're just so homophobic because you're afraid of what you don't understand.

[thePERFECTfeelingbb]

@J037395 Leave that person alone. Keep your homophobic comments to yourself..

[JoeyM19991]

@J037395 I dont support being a homosexual or being bisexual but i dont hate people who are like that. So how about you shut up and enjoy the music.

[lavamoka]

@J037395 ur sick u know that

[J037395]

@lavamoka so what r u gay? haha

[thePERFECTfeelingbb]

@J037395 You're such a fucking asshole. That's what alot of straight guys say, and it's ignorant bullshit.

[seankealiher]

@J037395 you know whats funny,is first of all that this song is about being happy,second your just an internet troll tryin to get a rise out of everyone,third i'll probably crap myself if you try and act tough or anything to me,i may be gay but i can sure as hell woop your ass :)

[J037395]

@seankealiher its funny u say u can kick my ass when u dont know me or what part of the world i live in. haha (:

[seankealiher]

@J037395 i have a feeling your a girl because no guy can claim he is straight when de does that kind of smile,so you ugly cunt,gtfo nobody likes ugly bitches on here. You have to be attractive to listen to this song soooooo yeah

[J037395]

@seankealiher I am no chick and guys can say they are straight with a smile.

Ps; u ppl who support gay guys or bi-guys u make me sick. Enough said.

[seankealiher]

@J037395 well if you dont like it you can leave. This song isnt even about being homosexual its about being gay as in happy,so you have no reason to be a hter

[Kagomai15]

@J037395 The feeling is mutual. :)

As in, I loathe people like you =D

[PunkForTheMoment]

My and my friend take the Happiness Pledge everyday. :D

[MsVampirestories]

My friend Justin sang this right as teacher walked by it was akward

[foreverspagetti]

@sanctuaryforthelost and i say, stop whining about it. pepple are inconsiderate asses, get used to iy

[sanctuaryforthelost]

I know this isn't what the song is about, but still; I'm bisexual, and everyone calls me down on it, they think its weird that a guy is bi. I just say "well I am. and I'm the one that has to live with it, and I'm perfectly fine with it. So what the fuck is your problem?"

[seankealiher]

@sanctuaryforthelost same with me,it's ok for a girl to be bi but when your a guy its considered wierd,but who gives a fuck :D

[Alicia3332]

RING AROUND THE FREAKING ROSIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tashbru7]

It's perfectly fine to be a happy individual.

[kagomalove]

We CAN ALL DO RING AROUND THE FREAKING ROSSIEE!!

[67100lucas]

[Mayonais3]

-_- right, it's about being happy. Not about being a Homosexual >.< got it XD

[Ranjuwean0Thor]

@Mayonais3 Well is that wrong?

[Alicia3332]

RING AROUND THE FREAKING ROSY!!!!!!

[Ohwow979]

Retards, he is saying gay as in Happy and he uses it as a pun so you crack a smile witch is the point.

[xxfunnyman1xx]

My best friend is gay.

she laughed her ass off when she heard this...

Lol.

[kokopelli7272]

@simpleplan1016 Well, the dictionary definition of "gay" is basically "extremely happy," but it is now recognized as meaning "homosexual." So, technically, that is what happens, but it is interpreted differently and is meant differently.

[KellyKellyStarr]

You are right. I've had a change of heart and completely disagree with my statement.

[kokopelli7272]

Guess what.

Gay means extremely happy.

Listen again with that in mind.

[simpleplan1016]

@kokopelli7272 -_- so when a person god up to there parent and says mom im gay there just saying there extremely happy ok ill go tell nicky to tell that to his new mom n dad

[FlyingMintBunnyNomz]

YO! WHERE MY LLAMAS AT?

[doubleazn836]

ATTENTION THIS SONG IS ALL ABOUT FUCKING PERSONALITY

[shika4eva3]

Wooowwwww. I love this song!:)

"Wheres my lalas at?) :)

[KellyKellyStarr]

Yes people are just attracted to different things like pedophiles are just attracted to prepubescent kids even though they can not reproduce. They can't help it it's just how they were born. Live and let love is what I say stop being a hater

[bigbearconnor]

@KellyKellyStarr I kinda see your point but comparing gays and pedophiles isn't the best way to do it. Just saying.

[w3irdo13]

@Everest432 You hate happy people?

[TheNickleChick]

ring around the freakin' rosie! I love Bowling For Soup

[simpleplan1016]

@TheNickleChick my names rosie XD

[luv2lax1]

I love bfs

[BreezeNightingale]

Fun fact: Long after 'gay' meant 'happy' and long before it meant 'homosexual,' it meant 'straight and gets a lot of sex.' Look it up. And have a wonderful day. :)

[JanAshaIzzyMayaNinja]

I don't get the mixed reactions for this song, I'm gay and I think it fuckin rocks

[AnnOceanV]

I know 'gay' is old english for 'happy' but 'dont hate us cause were beautiful' does sound awfully gay

[Kyxaz]

@AnnOceanV

"Don't hate us cause were beautiful" is actually an old saying

When someone would try to do bad to you, you would say that as if they were jealous of you. In other words a taunt.

[WolfintheMirror]

I'm a very gay gay. I'm also a senior in high school, and my school is extremely homophobic and just generally unhappy about life. Thumbs up if you think me and all my other gay gay friends should dance around in the middle of campus, singing this song, on the last day of school.

[Smusicism]

@WolfintheMirror Maybe you should just do it? Don't seek someone's approval or whatever you want from these total strangers when you can just do it yourself.

[WolfintheMirror]

@Smusicism I plan to do it anyway. I just want to see how many people can appreciate it. :3

[Madx2326]

@WolfintheMirror this song isnt about homosexuality so im not going to like and im gonna flag instead. like whore

[dEaDlYxUnIcOrNx]

@WolfintheMirror :D of course you should!!

[RokenZ300]

@WolfintheMirror Is your name Nolan Marr? From Goodrich High?

[WolfintheMirror]

@RokenZ300 No. I'm Martin Bernier from Highland High. ^^;

[NixilG]

@WolfintheMirror Go for it and put the video out on here! it would be epic to all of us pro-homo me's. I think you have balls to even post out on here with no one knowing your name kid. Just remember Always Be Proud Of Who You Are!

[MrToasty9000]

So... Is this song making fun of the fact that gay means both homosexual and happy? I think they are. I love this song.

[sweetiepatty7]

they mean not gay at homosexuallity they mean gay as happy like in the old days

[idevidedbyzero]

hahahaha... Lets get some la las up in here... YO where are my la las at? laaaa la la laaaa la la laaa.... hahahaha

[jodiec1997]

bfs made me very gay....what they just make me rely happy :)

[AkeelaPyro]

Ah, love how they take a reference to the Black Plague and throw it in there like it's a good thing. <3 BFS. Can't stop laughing at some of their songs, like this one, Shut Up and Smile, or Here's Your Freakin' Song. Love them to death.

[MxttGaming]

I think this is about Ginger hating.......... Im Indie.

[horsyluva24]

Guys...It's a play on words. Why are we debating homosexuality here? Take that somewhere else and enjoy the damn song.

[asteeg1412]

You guys should realize that humans are made up by both X and Y chromosomes. We are all MEN and WOMEN! It's just a matter of which is dominate...:D

[eringrl101]

I wish people would stop talking about Homophobia and how gay people "aren't right". Honestly Gay people (men or women) are put down and beat up everyday, having homophobia means you really just don't want to embrace the future. Think about it, so many people that are still alive that were born in the 60's find this immoral because it's not what they were taught. But that doesn't matter does it? No, because this is YouTube, not a blogging site.

[TheFantasticFesta]

@XXBleedingrose I am not here to fight, just to play the devil's advocate, but in other species, "homosexual" animals do not take in unwanted offspring, on in humans does that happen and it is only because of the growing society that people can put up unwanted children. And there are also families with women or men that are barren and sterile that are glad to take in unwanted children. It is not set out only for homosexuals.

[XXBleedingrose]

@TheFantasticFesta Not only for homosexuals, but yes, it does happen in other species. I've actually had a spayed dog start lactating for an abandoned kitten of a feral cat that we took in. We called her Karma, she was prob about 3 weeks old when we got her if I remember right. She kept alot of the wild in her, but wasn't that vicious. She actually lived up to her name, and treated people like they deserved.

If I had my own comp instead of my mom's laptop and youtube allowed links I could

[XXBleedingrose]

@TheFantasticFesta post my examples for this. I was made aware of this fact however, last spring when I joined "Gay Youth Corner" and was redirected to a forum post that had a list of all good responses to any homophobic comment and lists the sources for each fact presented.

It was constantly updated and rewritten when someone was able to add something worth adding.

The forum is locked to outsiders tho, so after I get time I want to go back on copy everything there, and make video versions of it

[LittleNinjaPuppy]

I love how everyone is talking about Homosexuality when that's not even what the song's about.

[IronWeaselFan]

@LittleNinjaPuppy Ur right... Song is about happiness. "Gay" means happy in french... It's just spelled differently

[DMstudiosx]

@Rocknshooting

If homosexuality is a disease, let's all call in queer to work: "Hello. Can't work today, still queer." ~Robin Tyler

Also, go fuck yourself, you know you're just jealous coz all the hot ones are lesbians. ;)

[JR0th1]

this song is about being gay.... not homosexual

[CuteChick8833]

i think every one knows u r gay reese lol xx

[10XxHaLEyxX10]

guys, when he says 'im gay' he means hes happy!!

[TheOfficialCaitlyn]

Im half gay.

[texanfan200]

I don't like getting in the gay conversation. I don't think any group deserves hate even if I don't agree with what they're doing. But it makes me wanna throw up when people say homosexuality is natural. Get real.

[Shirako1]

@texanfan200 Actually for some it is... Some of us were born attracted to the same gender...

[XXBleedingrose]

@texanfan200 Actually I was born attracted to the same gender, and so are members of many species, such as dogs (my chihuahua actually leaves the house to get some up his butt, even tho there are 3 female dogs in the area that are easier to get to and they do have puppies from time to time) cats, foxes, even birds. It is natural.

I am not gay, I'm pansexual.

[XXBleedingrose]

@texanfan200 But here's a better test, than ones that you tend to hear.

Are you naturally attracted to people with a certain hair color?

Skin color?

What about people with a certain height, or amount of hair, or weight?

Do you think you could make yourself be attracted to someone that is a wrong height, weight, hair and skin color, etc?

Now I'm not asking if you can love someone that's off of what your attracted to, but if you can force an attraction to happen.

How would gays do that?

[texanfan200]

@XXBleedingrose It's not rocket science to figure out a penis is designed for a vagina. That's all I was saying. I just don't understand how someone can be sexually attracted to the same sex. Their body is not designed for that. The analogy doesn't hold up either. I am dark-haired. There is no organ on my body specifically made for gingers.

[XXBleedingrose]

@texanfan200 actually that's not true. What I was saying is that people are attracted to different people, and about 10% of all animals, including humans, are homosexual. Homosexuality is a survival trait, which provides for population control, and to provide homes for unwanted offspring. It's science. It's not a choice, its just different chemicals, and different brain sizes and shapes. Many transexuals and gay people have brains that are more like the other sexes, it's pretty natural.

[JayBoy88]

@XXBleedingrose The first half is a theory, but as to what makes someone gay isn't quite known.

I say it's like colors, some like red, some like blue. You can't put that to science, can you?

[XXBleedingrose]

@JayBoy88 I suppose. I used to like light blue as a kid, and when I grew I liked darker blue and purple more. I didn't just choose what to like, and it's not a choice for me to not like pink like most girls tend to. It's just the way I am. I didn't choose for the change to happen, I didn't choose what colors I like, I don't choose who I'm attracted to, nor who I love.

I wish people would use common sense and realize you don't choose to be attracted to something, people, body parts, or colors :/

[HollowKeyblade]

@XXBleedingrose You are amazing. Thanks so much for sticking up for homo/bisexuals. : )

[XXBleedingrose]

@HollowKeyblade N/P I stand for everyone that needs it really. And while homophobia and bigotry are considered good family values, LGBT needs the help.

[fronk16]

@texanfan200 that's ur opinion

[BawlfyTheFox]

I WANNA PLAY RING AROUND THE FREAKIN ROSEY!!!

[imsobored124]

@Hua12312 What does the fear of sameness have to do with this?

Thats what homophobia means. Homo meaning same, phobia meaning fear. Fear of sameness

[789Dereck]

Homophobes are just jealous because everygirl would rather have a gay guy as a best friend then a mean guy as a Boyfriend

[MASTERLINKX1]

FUCK I LOVE THIS SONG!! ugh im tired of all the fucking angsty people in the world! "its perfectly fine to be a happy individual!"

[XXBleedingrose]

@MASTERLINKX1 I'm angsty, angry, depressed, and love music that matches my mood. Even so, I do love this song.

[LilttleFreak]

Hi, asexual teenager here. There are 3 things I want to say here: 1) Stop arguing and enjoy the damn song, 2) @HUA12312 glad to see someone else sees it, and 3) @Rocknshootin and others like him who say gays are unnatural because they cannot repopulate: NEWS FLASH humans are overpopulating the earth. If you don't get that, study the pyramid of a healthy ecosystem (biology) again. Scientifically speaking, gays are doing us a favor by not reproducing. And done. Remember, I don't answer hate-mail~

[DMstudiosx]

@LilttleFreak Epic win, my friend. :)

[LilttleFreak]

@DMstudiosx Why thank you :)

[HUA12312]

Homosexuality is found in over 450 species.

Homophobia is only found in one.

Which seems more unnatural now?

[Cag1234321]

@HUA12312 O.o Mind-fuck, no?

[JayBoy88]

@HUA12312 Obviously asexuality.

[strongerthanthelies]

@HUA12312 You tube needs a I LOVE THIS button, now <3

[ostritchman101]

@HUA12312 My new facebook status XD

[IronWeaselFan]

@HUA12312 Nice point, but this song isn't about being homosexual, it's about being happy.

[Kawasakiforlife7]

@HUA12312 go suck a penis, because this song has nothing to do with being homosexual

[alexistheawsome1]

@Kawasakiforlife7 That the joke dude

[aldamo98]

@HUA12312 Thats probably one of the best fucking comments I've ever seen ♥

[ChrisSimply]

@HUA12312 still homosexuality sorry bro...



[KneeSocksEaterXD]

@HUA12312 Does Pokemon count? Cuz I have gay pokemon XDD I want to show this to my LGBTQ Club, I feel that they'd enjoy it.

[RunescapeHelpization]

hes happy

[dj82008]

Does anybody hear "yeah buddy!" haha[:

[FeralBeth]

this is the only song that would ever get me to jump out of my makeshift seat in the park, and scream "IM GAY!"

[DaHeck1039]

Im gay.........and i mean that im happy.

[KuroStrawberryX]

One of the best fucking songs ever made!! Like seriously

[HibariKyoyaKHR]

I think the song has something to do about the bands who sing mad/sad songs. And "I'm Gay" Means "I'm Happy", or something like that.

[Shadowfan3001]

@HibariKyoyaKHR duh...

[IAmColdCheese]

@Shadowfan3001 No Need to be mean. ._.

[clamz94]

Okay everyone that's it stop commenting @Rocknshooting face it, he's stuck in the 50's. he's never gonna wake up and realize he's in the 21st century! Yes he's a homophobe we get it no matter how angry your comments get he's never gonna get un-brain washed to homosexuality! Just drop it and leave him to his deep seeded hatred.

[acesilvermen]

I loved it.

But for the ones who thinks this is all about homosexuals it isn't, go look up the word gay in the dictionary it means happy, and that the gay they are talking about(maybe)

[xoxolettersxoxo]

This is my new fav song i can't stop smiling XD love it!

[GrandMasterRyu]

How? How in the fucking hell do you think this is saying they're all gay? That you should be gay? Its saying that for all the people who are gay out there dont hate them, let them be happy. They're happy people like us, so shut the fucking hell up. Its an amazing band, a great song, and haters >.> go fuck yourself with a doorknob.

[kawaiianimeotaku]

@GrandMasterRyu i like gay people! they have to deal with all the shitty people who discriminate against them and keep bein happy! wooo!

[mimetime3652]

I randomly get up and say "Alright , now put your left hand over you heart and repete after me . Its perfectly fine to be a happy individual. "

[DouglassFace21]

gay people dont bother me its the flamers that get on my nerves
