I'm sick of the way that kids use "gay" as an insult!
You've all heard it. Probably even used it as an insult too.
That band is so "Gay"
That teacher's so "Gay"
This homework is "Gay"
That kid is so "Gay"
I know I may be ranting a little, but I'm just sick of it! And how other people react when they know someone has an alternitive lifestyle to them.
The other day, I was talking to one of my friends. She wanted to go stay over at a friend's place, but her mother would not let her. Why? Her friend's mom was bisexual.
One of the best teachers at my school, who is kind to everybody, is first on the scene if someone gets hurt or is sick (he's helped me out a number of times) and is one of the best music/drama teachers I have ever known, never gets the respect he deserves from the the boys in the class. Why? He happens to speak a little differently and might be gay. So now he is the butt of every joke from the boys.
Whenever people use gay as an insult, I ask them politely to stop. Then they ask me if I support gays... and I always say yes.
Next week rumours start going around about my sexuality and I am treated like an alien.
It's just not right. Even my parents say that being homosexual or lesbian is unnatural.
What shape is society in when people can't choose how to live their lives without being a joke to others?

I know loads of gay people and they are so much nicer than other people.

hah, i agree, but that doesnt mean im not gonna stop saying it. personally, if ppl dont say it over excessivly, i dont mind, but it does get outta hand sometimes. one of my best friends is gay and ppl make fun of him all the time. i just threaten to sock them in the mouth,a nd they usually shut up. STOP SAYING GAY LIKE IT'S A BAD THING people! i mean seriously.

I hate it too. My friends claim that they hate homophobes, but they use gay as an insult; it irritates me so much. When someone uses gay as an insult, it makes them sound homophobic.

I know what you mean.
There's a teacher at my school who everyone reckons is gay and they all make fun of him behind his back.
He's a nice teacher, he never gives homework or detentions yet they never say one thing about teachers that do.

I think it's stupid how gay people are treated the way they are just because they like the same sex. Yay for Mardi Gras.
But as for using "gay" as an insult, now it's more as in gay = stupid.
