This is so gay.

@hickster699 lol but that never happens, im straight and i've never heard anyone say "that's so straight". And i've never heard being straight used in a derogatory manner. So that example is invalid.

People! The point is, people use the term GAY to replace the words "Dumb" or "Stupid". Using gay in replace of those words is implying that gay is bad or wrong. When it's NOT wrong or bad!

I guess I learned something today. Saying "That's so gay" is hurtful. From now on, I will replace it with "That's so retarded." That won't hurt anyone's feelings!
