Think Before You Speak- Homophobia in High Schools

[ericcroft22]

What's the song at 1:00

[Deathbyomega]

fags should be publicly executed to warn other fags touching children is not acceptable and your perverted lifestyle is not accepted

[mermaidsareppl222]

@Deathbyomega actually what you described were pedophiles, not hoosexuals

[idaman12345]

@Deathbyomega pedophiles touch children, not homosexuals

and homosexuals, by the mere definition of the word, are not perverted

[DarkKnight906]

@Bishnu852 You're sick!

[KamensTV]

Austin Powers reference at 0:31. And being gay is cool.

[Pandooomonium]

So, now I should say nigger a lot, because in reality, it started out just meaning a black person.

[darkego99]

@Pandooomonium actually it means ignorant person, negro means black...

[legend519]

who ever made this video must be gay

[IamTheBoss4Life]

this is gay.

And what kind of high school is that? 90% of the kids look like punk ass fags.

[asfesesease]

That's so yag.

[jjeffers94]

i find it hilarious that the guy saying fag totally looks like a fag

[misshewlett9210]

I hate homophobia

[DJRedMEDIA]

@misshewlett9210 I love how people are concerned about homophobia when there is is a starving child in the street, a guy coughing up blood cuz he just got shot, a family going through divorce, a struggling cancer patient in a hospital, a racist sitting at home watching Glenn Beck, a weak economy, poor leadership, political corruption, religious persecution in the Middle East, and to top it all off a world that is losing its faith in morals and God.

[misshewlett9210]

@DJRedMEDIA I dont just hate homophobia, i hate all the other things you just mentiond too. I understand how there are more worse things to worry about, but we can only make the world better one step at a time.

[Pandooomonium]

@DJRedMEDIA Okay, in a way, I agree. But I hate that stance on things, the next time something bad happens in my life, I'm not going to think that it doesn't matter because there's worse, because all pain matters.

[DJRedMEDIA]

@Pandooomonium Don't get me wrong, Americans just need to tough it up. We got it good compared to most people. Bullying, you should be thankful that you didn't get killed by the guy and how real is that? We've come a long way, but we can do better. Homophobia isn't an issue compared to the rest of the madness in this world. Leave the fags alone, let them do what the're gonna do. They have their rights just like everyone else, let's put things into perspective and move on.

[Rachulie]

@DJRedMEDIA man, even tho im say i say, seriously, bless u. ppl are spoiled. they have campaigns about words. words are illegal in european countries and australia. im gay and it doesnt bother me. ive been to the middle east and seen what REAL problems are. if u mean to be a dick, then let's fight it out, if not, why get all pissy about it ?

[DJRedMEDIA]

@Rachulie Point is people are too good to be arguing about things like this. There's no need to raise awareness about it. Race is the same way, it's been 50 years since MLK's speech. If you want to get rid of an issue stop talking about it, stop teaching your children that gay is wrong, stop teaching them that that a man is of a certain race, he is human, and stop confining people. People need to flag this video, it's only strengthening the hatred. Look at these comments, it's proof enough!

[Rachulie]

@DJRedMEDIA ur so right. ppl need to talk about ending violence in general. stop classifying ppl.

[Rachulie]

@Pandooomonium a lot of people say that. because it's hard to stop being self centered. i know

[Runningjoels]

@misshewlett9210 i hate you, fag

[misshewlett9210]

@Runningjoels ass wipe, make the world a better place and go die somewhere, thanks

[Runningjoels]

@misshewlett9210 that hurts my feelings, please dont say things like that to me.

[DarkKnight906]

@misshewlett9210 You're a pathetic excuse for a human being...JUST SAYING!

[misshewlett9210]

@DarkKnight906 and who are you? wth? arguing for good and caring for others isnt a pathetic excuse for a human being, maybe you missread the comment you were replying too and accidentally replied to me? or maybe its you who is, cuz i didnt do anything wrong here.

[bloodblitz0]

Well i solved the problem... every Canadian is gay.

[olivesya12]

@vidbasher9207 fuck it. y don't we beat vid bashers. wouldn't do no harm. Ad a little 92 and a hint of 07. Shut the fuck up!

[plejadok]

good music from about 1:00. what's the title/performer?

[vidbashar9207]

Beat gays!!

[idaman12345]

@vidbashar9207 why?

[pocketmasterful]

@vidbashar9207 fuck you

[CarrotOverlord]

@vidbashar9207 What for?

[ZHDesignX]

Great vid. Spread the word!

[DezKOdYa]

@dadecountyhustler305 Hah xD Dude, You expect a teenager to have the knowledge of an adult?? I'm basing my argument on personal experience..and from my point of view, ignorance is just one of the main reasons that there's homophobia.

[DezKOdYa]

@dadecountyhustler305 The feminists were right then, people have absaloutley no choice over their sexuality.. And your gay friends are most likely being heterophobic to you because you're clearly an ignorant homophobe..and even though I really don't care if people are homophobic..they should just keep it to themselves. And since i aint british..i dont care what they did in the 40's!! I do know that the americans were no help though..works both ways.

[jmcooney2000]

@jmcooney2000 sorry meant to say Canadians are gay

[DezKOdYa]

@dadecountyhustler305 Dude, gay people don't make fun of straight people...xD maybe the ones who are sick of homophobia result to heterophobia..ever think of that? :L and I ain't american..I'm Russian but live in UK..and by the looks of it, I'm proud I'm not American. xD And the feminists have nothing to do with sexuality..so keep your opinions to yourself if the intention is to put down people.

[DezKOdYa]

Thank you for this =) Homphobia is just seriously shit...and the people who say it don't realise the effect of what they're saying. =\

[SlobbyHill]

There IS hetrophobia.

[sara81j1]

@Bishnu852 Little do I care to hear that you get aroused by being a dominatrix, but you went above and beyond proving my point.

[sara81j1]

@Bishnu852 I wouldn't say that you have a normal sexuality, I'd say you've got an insecure one. I call it like I see it. You ARE however normal for one of those sheep that has had religion brainwash you from being able to think, be rational or believe in science.

[sara81j1]

@Bishnu852 And for what reason were you weeded out of school?

[TheEscapedBalloon]

I go to a Christian school, and my friends can't not say the "f" word for some reason.

[Maxxhardwood]

While the purpose is commendable, the failure to cite sources is also disappointing. As the old adage goes...90% of statistics are made up on the spot. Furthermore, this video holds no substance. It is all information that is widely known. Such basic facts and emotionless people responding.

[xMikanNamix]

Yeah that's uncool. I hear that on a daily basis, and truth be told, i've said it more times then I'd like to count. Most people don't even use it to try to put anyone down, its just become such a casual sentence.

Kudos to those who get it, and actually think before they speak. I stopped saying it. And as far as freedom of speech goes, that's not an excuse to be derogatory and hurtful. Grow up.

[deadnub75]

ur gay

[spiritmonkeynine]

Brilliant video. It highlights that it is basically ignorance and heterosexism and people can realise their actions and change.

[XxDJMVxX]

STUPID CANADIANS,!

[iskatebaker123]

This is fucking hilarious!!

[dand06]

I say what I want. that is the beauty of free speech. most of you may not like that, but thats what my grandpa fought for in the war. if i want to say something is gay, its gay.

[SmartAndy]

@dand06 I don't think the war your grandfather fought in was a war for free speech. Go look it up in the history books. And of course you have the right to say what you want but keep in mind that the idea of the right of free speech comes from the same point as the idea that every person is equal. (Again, look it up in your books). So if you claim your right of free speech then respect others (human) right of not being humiliated.

[dand06]

@SmartAndy my grandfather also did not throw jews in the oven for being jewish

[SmartAndy]

@dand06 mine either, but generalization seems anyway to be your problem! (Oh, by the way: Before you start pointing on other people for their country's history, look at the "glorious" history of yours! Only two words: racial segregation. What do we learn from that? Taking history to judge people in the present in most ways sort of stupid!

[PurpleThunderMuffin]

I love this Video<3

[MultiJerry11]

I should add there is one more saying guys inparticular say..."No Homo"...As if sharing feelings between 2 straight guys is a sign of Homosexuality...I'm sure straight guys have feelings too and it gets me so annoyed when i here some of my friends even say it....In fact one time i asked this Christian Guy i know, why says it now and a year ago or so, and he said he doesn't even know...Like this vidoe says PEOPLE SHOULD THINK BEFORE THEY SPEAK!!!

[TheWowzersTV]

to aedanman I kno many use it as a word with absolutly no value, but think about it Shit isn't a race or sexuality... think how people would reacts to "thats so white" or "thats so mexican" or black or asian or whatever its hurtful... i know u might believe that it is an evolution of language or whatever, but i doubt people would like to hear, "that is so nigger" or "beaner" or "cracker" or anything like that... so why must it be gay. people should evolve there language in a resourceful way

[aedanman]

this video is so gay. Also I have heaps of gay and lesbian mates and they use the phrase 'that is so gay' more than anyone else I know. Therefore it holds no value. It doesn't mean homosexual anymore. It is like when you say 'that tastes like shit'. It doesn't actually taste like shit. You are saying it tastes bad. The word has changed meaning from poo to bad. Plenty of examples of this. It is the evolution of language.

[thejdog2010]

@aedanman Hey man just because some gays and lesbians use it doesn't make it any less hurtful to other gay and lesbian people! It doesn't make it right!

[thejdog2010]

@aedanman Hey man just because some gays and lesbians use it doesn't make it any less hurtful to other gay and lesbian people! It doesn't make it right!

[EatSleepBreathMovies]

@aedanman

I am a gay man, and I never use the term "that's gay" to describe stuff as bad or call people a fag when they act stupid or idiotic. I call people out when they use it and make them answer for what they say. It's unfortunate that many people think gays say it a lot because they think we want to "take back the word" like when black people say "nigger." In both cases they are still derogatory terms no matter if the person saying it is part of the group or not

[omegatopva]

Imagine: you are walking down the street and someone drives by and calls you a "nigger". You go home, tell your family and they console you. Now, imagine you are gay and hear "fag, faggot, homo, queer, dyke" at school, work and home. Who will console you? Those closest to you are part of the mob. You live alone and are an outsider in your own family. Please think before you speak. Just because you can't tell that someone is gay doesn't mean that you are free to sling slurs. Let's live in peace.

[Sebizzar]

Thank you for this video & i wonder if i'll ever see homophobia be at least as low as racism before i die...

[Volumesofdoom]

Homophobia will be as low as racism when Freedom of Speech dies.

[Sebizzar]

There's a difference between freedom of speech & being ignorant.

[Volumesofdoom]

Everyone is ignorant to a extent.

[Sebizzar]

I know but are you saying homophobia is freedom of speech & that everyone is as ignorant as them? It's basically the same as being racist. Ignorance = ignoring what they know is right.

[hievery1policehateme]

WAT GAY

[00TomiKaulitz00]

great video!

good work! :)

[happymooglefun]

This was a great video! Well done!

It's difficult being bisexual and to feel that you might not be accepted by your friends if you say anything.

On habit, I do say "That's so gay" but I definitely try to refrain from saying it a lot of the time and try to stop my friends from saying it too.

[pannettlogan]

thats the way the world works you cant make people like you and theres always going to be someone who dosent like you so your just going to have to suck it up and deal with it.

[drummerboyc6]

this video is so gay.

[EZ95]

Tha Brunette In Tha Computer Class Wuz Pretty Fukkin Hot, But Besidez That I Like How This Video Tries To Make You Feel Bad For Saying A Phrase,I Got Gay Friends And They Say That's Fukkin Gay.Whatever I'm Not Tryinf To Argue With People,I'm Just Saying That Chick Is Hot.

[tombilske]

haha thats so true...like wait till ur voice breaks to call others faggots...oh wait, DONT DO IT AT ALL!!!

[Jaegund]

very nice video. I'm gay, but I still seem to say "that's gay" a lot. Going to try to stop saying that, it's stupid.

[jieqiren89]

great video, it deserves more views than 873.

love you guys!

[ExcludeLife]

Nice :D

[Simplyblissfull]

Nice! Powerful Stuff people!! : )

[markfalvai]

[Ejuht]

Great video :)

[TheTrueSong]

Wow!! I completly support this and everything your doing!! Absoloutley brilliant with such a realistic harshness!

[HannaLindsay]

Good job you guys

and btw LOVE graham's line :)

[kourichan]

don't forget that a fag means a smoke or a pile of sticks!

Mmmm.... not gonna lie, I throw out the term 'gay' pretty much countless times per day, although i never mean it the homosexual way. Well unless i'm feeling someone up >.> don't ask... >.> It's accepted that we mean 'gay' as in 'ridiculous, funny, silly' but well that is kind of the message of this vid. This vid is pretty powerful, it's making me rethink this. Nice job :D

[urion43]

damn this video is GAY!!!

just kidding, great work. its sad how homophobia is so rampant in schools. i guess a lot of people just don't know the damage they are doing

[utubekiwijojo]

Brilliant video, great job for getting the message out!

[ZhicPerks]

Hell yes it is!

Keep the views coming! :D
