Is it normal that i'm annoyed by people who get offended by the word "gay"?

Agreed. I'm a bastard son, does that mean I should make a community of other bastard sons and daughters and go crazy on everyone that says "You bastard"?

It is all part of the whole political correctness ideal. Some people are extremely thin-skinned and are insulted at the slightest provocation. These are the people who campaign against the casual use of words such as 'retard' and 'gay'.

All I can say is, grow a hide. It really is not hurting anyone.

I get mad when people say something is "retarded
or "gay" because its just very offensive! Sometimes I feel like many english words have lost their meaning.

For example, "gay" used to mean "happy"

I am offended by that use of the word "gay"; like it or not it demonises homosexuality. Would it be okay to say "that TV show is such a nigger"? No, that would be offensive. There is no difference between that and calling it gay because they both demonise something that CANNOT be changed. I'm not even gay and even I gind it offensive when people use words like gay and fag like that.

If you were gay, you'd probably not be so fond of it.

It won't be used forever, language changes. I used to say it's gay, until I realized how stupid it sounds.

People that are offended by that are SO gay.

If someone tells you they're offended by something, you should take it seriously. You're not them, and don't know how they feel. If you were gay, hearing the term gay being used in a negative way might really hurt your self esteem or reinforce the idea that it's somehow wrong to be gay. Mind you, some people just like to complain about everything and are oh-so politically correct. But if you're really hurting someone by using the term gay, you'd be a jerk not to stop...

I dont agree with using the word these days but I've used it frequently my whole life.

So has my best friend. Until she decided one day that she was gay. Than whenever I said it, accidentally because I was trying to curb my use, she would have a total bitch fit.

LOL. w.e

It's so gay that people are way too sensitive these days.

My dick in your ass would be so gay.

I agree, Like the word "Nigga". I am not going to get into detail, why I think it is an absolutely fine word to use.. However I will say that these terms, Gay, Nigga, are no longer used in a negative context. It is just a word. They are not used in a derogatory sense hardly ever. But modern slang I guess.

The worlds cracked its bleedin face. Noone is allowed to saqy anything for fear of politcal correctness. x

yes it pisses me off aswell. people throw the word around totally disregarding its original meaning.

AMEN to what you said.

If you can't check them then don't try to wreck them. If you call someone like Rob Halford a fag you're gonna get rolled, I can tell by the nature of your question.

That being said I'm straight so don't even go there, I just grew up where running your mouth wreckless is a good way to get dished.

Is he a nermily little wad? Then yeah. Is he a straight guy acting gay? Then yeah, but say this to someone who's genuine and you might end up figuring out *exactly* why snide comments aren't acceptable.

yeah people call each other a spaz but that's offensive to actual spaztic people and i don't like it at all

everyone is using the original meaning meaning weird or odd, then it got changed to happy then the homosexual community used the word to identify themself as a shot to society because everyone else thinks homosexuality is weird or odd.

This shit is straight as fuck.

Pizza! :)

Yeah well you're gay. Hehehe :)
