Default Does this annoy you?

This conversation got me curious.

Does it annoy you when people use the word 'gay' as a derogatory term?

If I was gay or had more gay friends then I'm sure it would bother me. I used to use it when I was like 13. It doesn't really annoy me just like someone using the word 'gypped' doesn't annoy me.

exactly. The word has changed meanings. It went from happy to homosexual to jerkish/sucky.

I don't find it offensive or annoying. And I wouldn't even if I were homosexual.

yeah, a lot...generally when someone uses 'gay' that way, it means i'm not gonna be making friends with them or accepting them into my social circle

not really.

but it does bother me the way parents hide homosexuality from their kids like its some abstract concept that if exposed will turn them gay, or something.

I've known several gay people who say "that's gay" if they think something is lame/nerdy/pointless.
