deff of words change! get ride of your ego...relate your self to something other then of being gay! gay used to mean happy, then homosexual...then now it means something is dumb...so AGIN words change! if u see past your sex, skin coler, ect to a point where nothing or no one can affend u...u have conquerd the world
the term "gay" was originally used to mean "carefree" or "happy". homesexuals started calling themselves "gay." so you can't really get mad at someone for saying something that has an original meaning beside what you branded yourself.
say, for instance, we use the word "cool" to describe something in a positive way. then all of a sudden, my group of homosexual friends starts calling themselves "cool" in reference to their sexuality. they can't get mad at me for saying things are "cool"
I agree with you entirely. People are very ignorant of others feelings.
Regardless of your beliefs, is it not in everyone's best interest to treat others with kindness?
Using the word gay as interchangeable with "stupid" or the like, is thoughtless and makes those who use it seem stupid, which I am sure most are not. It's a poor representation of yourself to use such words.
I agree 100 percent. The only reason anyone ever puts down or insults other groups is that they actually don't like or love themselves. So they insult other groups in an attempt to feel better about themselves. It's usually an unconscious ego based behavior that doesn't work. They still feel crappy afterwards. The message is my life sucks but at least I'm not gay. BUT NEWS FLASH, gay guys are all around and make for much better company than boring straight guys worried about trying to fit in.
@Telekon5 Dude Your So Right The Last Video I Saw The Top Comment Is Like If You Hate Gays People Cause Problems For Others Because They Think It Will Make Them Feel Beter Because Of There Problems
use the word hetro for when someone is ignorant hateful homphobic narrow minded God made gays God made hetros gays don't hide behind their religion to excuse their hate of another persons sexuality race cultural backround that's just being hetro
fulo: Shut up! God also said that having slaves is GOOD and that women are not equal to men, etc. That doesn't mean it's RIGHT! Obviously even God makes mistakes.
1x5h07, Fuck off! He has more of a life than you do if all you have to do all day is make comments like such. Acne is normal during teen years and has NOTHING to do with this video's point! Get your own life before telling others to get theirs.
this video is kind of ignorant...words change meanings...I have nothing against gay people and I dont see it as demeaning to gay people at all because all it is is adding another definition to the word not saying being gay is stupid or idiotic. If people went around saying "oh that's straight" in a negative way, I wouldn't care.
Wow, ya'll need to shut the hell up and get of Pat's back. So what if he's fighting about something that may never change? Does that mean he can't voice his, and many others' opinion? He's not wasting his life, he's only made one video about it and he was just making a damned point. In which I agree with completely!
I hate how my friends use the word gay in that manner. Actually, I hate how they're so close minded about the entire homosexual situation all together.
If you let yourself get offended every time someone calls something gay you're going to be wasting a LOT of your life protesting something that is NOT going to change.
dude shutup its a saying we are not saying it to hurt people get off your soap box and its not igorance to say gay its ignorent to get pissed over something stuped like that its a word when i say thats gay is it directed at you, no its directed at something that happened something stuped if im not saying it directed at you then shut the hell up
Even if you are not saying something with malicious intent it can still hurt people. Casual homophobia is no less insidious and dangerous than casual sexism or racism. You steadily build up a tolerance to it until you become as bad as a hateful racist because you don't see it as a bad thing, and will stand by and let persecution happen, like what happened in Nazi Germany, when lots of normal people stood by and watched atrocities
very true. i hate when people use that term in a derogatory manor; and they always think they're so cute when they do it. it's as offensive as if someone said "ni@@ery." you're turning a noun into an adjective in an insulting description. next time i hear someone call something "gay" i'm going to speak out.
What you are saying is absolutely true, and even myself as a Gay teenager I use the word gay as something thats negative. Ive been getting myself out of the habit but this video made me want to stop even more. Great Video
Thank you for clearing that up for everyone out there who can't bother to think through it themselves. I used to say that (back in 6th grade or something) then I really thought about it. How can I call myself tolerant when I'm insulting the very group that I accept? It's hypocritical, people shouldn't do it. Cheers to you! I love your commentary.
I never claimed to be 'tolerant', that is your word. Hypocrisy-what a word! The banner cry for anyone incapable of saying what they mean. Political correctness is rediculous, and is that not the crux of this little debate? I still say that if you are gay, then good for you. Go get em tiger! Just do not get your feelings hurt when someone has a laugh at your expense. I have a gay friend who has nicknamed me "breeder". I think it is hilarious.
I'm sorry if you took it this way but the comment I made wasn't directed towards you. I was calling myself a hypocrite when I used to use the expression five or six years ago. I have plenty of friends who say the word gay, not as a personal attack on homosexuals, but just to convey that they think something is stupid. Do I get angry at them? No. I was just saying that in an ideal world people should realize it's offensive and not do it.
Continued: But really, what people deem offensive is all a matter of personal taste. I don't totally disagree with you when it comes to political correctness (after all, my favorite comedian is George Carlin.) Feminists claim a 'manhole' should be changed to a 'personhole'. I think that's ridiculous but they don't. As long as they won't scream at me if I say the word manhole then I don't care if they have that opinion.
Sadly Continued: As for the word 'tolerant' can I will say I'm not much for the word because there is nothing to be tolerant of. That was just lazy wording on my part.
And I'll just get off what ended up being my soap box now.
some people are offended by things, and others aren't. if you know someone is going to be offended when you call them something, then you just shouldn't say it, out of respect (unless it counters with your beliefs severely) calling things we find dumb or pointless gasy, in my opinion, is hurtful, because it puts homosexuality at the same level of what they actually meant
I agree 100%. It's become part of the youth slang lexicon. But then, the word "gay" itself had another, very different meaning before it was co-opted by the homosexual community back in the 70's. My parents' generation was a bit ticked at the loss of a favorite word. (It meant happy and carefree.)
i wouldn't mind using it in its original form. but my generation has always had that word mean homosexual, which is why it's hurtful when they use it as i described
You are wasting your time fighting something like this. It is too prevalent, even widely accepted, as a derogatory term. It is also hilarious when used in that context in certain situations. Words change meaning regularly throughout history. Get over it. Get over yourself. Whaaaaaaaa, somebody said gay is bad. Why would you care what other people say if you are such a free thinker yourself. You cannot pick and choose these things. Grow up.
the actual use of the word gay to insult someone/thing is called pejorative use. I know what you mean. it sucks - so many of my friends use the word to insult stuff. i think its bad.
it also dillutes our language. when you use a word when you could be using another to more accureately convey your meaning, you lose signifigence in your speaking
Quite a good point and very well said. I'll add you.
