PSA: Using "That's So Gay!" as an insult (2 ads)

Using "gay" as an insult is common here on YouTube -- usually among those who can't construct a sentence or use punctuation. Sadly, it's such a part of the vernacular that even teens who aren't truly homophobic use it.

Sykes recently came out because of Prop 8 in California. She plays a straight woman pretending to be gay on The New Adventures of Old Christine. She and Christine pretend to be a married gay couple to keep her in the US. Ironically, that's just like Noah and Ameera, only with a gay twist.

@3heishi3 That's pretty arrogant. You don't get offended so others shouldn't either. Guess what, I love very hot foods, so should I make all my food very hot for guests? No, I let them decide and I don't say, if you don't like it, too bad. Sorry, acceptable behavior id not built around what you find offensive. And according to psychologists, self-esteem, especially among children, is not chosen. Your view is proven wrong, but you're probably too arrogant to care.

@3heishi3 Wow, way to ignore my points. If you want to be an insensitive jerk, be one. This PSA is not for you, so why the need to tell us "I'll do what I want to do!" Who cares? This PSA is for those are don't realize that "gay" is hurtful, and ask that they re-consider. As others point out here, studies showed that it works. No one gives a shit what you're okay with.

As for "self-esteem" being a choice, that's one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. Do some research. Duh.

Anyone who is getting offended by "that's so gay" really just needs to get over it. Same with anyone who would get offended with "that's so straight".

I mean really.. Making a commercial about it?.. What a huge ass waste.

So now they have PSAs telling you what you can and can't say? I guess we truly have run out of problems in this country. And frankly, that's FUCKING GAY.

Im sorry, I should have said "Thats so bitchy, unfunny comedian with annoying voice who intrudes into random conversations just to be sanctimonius". There we go, its wordy, but it works.

That's so censorship... Suck my dick fags... oh wait, you would like that, nevermind....

[Josh04731]

Yes because every time we hear a naughty word, we confront people to shut up. Dumb commercial, were censoring words now?
