"That's so gay!" Everyone says it so what's the big deal? Is it cool to call something gay, even if you're just joking around?
When you use the word gay to describe something that's bad or weird, you're hating on people for who they love and that's never cool. In fact, it can be really hurtful and dangerous and lead to violence against people who are gay or thought to be gay. The recent death of Tyler Clementi, a Freshman from Rutgers University who took his life when he was outed on YouTube is proof that words can kill.
Say no to "that's so gay." Let your friends know that hating on people for who they love is never cool. Help make it better for the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people in your life and community.
