Using 'gay' as an abusive term.

[Xarea]

Do you ever use the term gay as an abusive term.

For example: 'Go away you gay.'

Just wanted to know :p

[OMGitsaROSS]

Yea, frequentley lol. But not too gays :P

[Lycan]

i find it quite funny when gay people use gay in an offensive way.

[PigsNose]

I don't know.. I mean I call my friends gay all the time but it is just a joke. But I wouldn't mean it offensively so I gotta say no.

[Ostinato]

I don't.

Not because I think it's completely wrong or whatever... I just think it's quite immature and I have a much wider vocabulary to make use of when I need to insult someone. :P

I find it quite a feeble insult to be honest... lol

[Liam!]

i have, but i rarely say it now. but i don't have anything against gays.

[dirrty]

i have said it a few times, but i dont say things like that to gay people.

[Ed.]

I used to use it when I was younger.. like 8 to 10

but no more....

[hadouken!]

well i'm gay, and i use that word more than i should. it's just asy isn't it? i dont think anyone uses it 'abusively' anymore, more as just a quick thing 'ya gay m8'. if you were to call me gay i wouldnt take it offensively, i dont think many gays do now adays.

like your mum isnt it?

but yeah, im always using it.

[MJJ]

A lot of people in my school use it, but no I don't.

[Tash.]

I call one person it for a laugh, other than that no, and I never use it as an offensive term.

[shiver]

nah, i don't see how an incorrect assumption of sexuality, or TERRIBLE 'insult', can be insulting in the slightest.

[samsaBEAR]

nah, i use *** sometimes, but only if its just like a joke

edit; its filtered, think the F word for cigarettes

[hadouken!]

[Ashhizzle]

[cocaine]

[hadouken!]

LMAO, loads of girls go for me, and im like, no. male please.

[YoManGo!]

bleddy gays.

[DiscoPat]

Always, but just because its somthing you can get away with

[Energizer]

yeah, loads.

[alexxxxx]

um im not sure.

[:Jamie]

Few times but most of the time people dont actually get offended by it seeing as quite alot of people do say it.

[Pyroka]

I think I use it way too much... But then I also swear way too much so meh. Nothin against gays really, I think it's just one of those things you learn while in school...

[dannyisnotamazing]

I use it frequently, it's just one of those things.

[Nemo]

yep loads lol, but im not in anyway against gays lol

[You]

LMAO, loads of girls go for me, and im like, no. male please.
:rolleyes:

No i don't.

[jackass]

Homosexuals are gay.

[:Hazel]

yeah sometimes

[summer]

no i don't use it as an insult, but i'll sometimes say it like for example, if the tv remote won't work cause the batteries are running low i'll be like "stupid gay thing". it's natural though, i don't do it on purpose.

[Shawnstra]

Few times :)

[womanizer]

not really

[bo$$]

When I'm making fun of my friends ye.. Like Ill be like "wow. that was gay"
or something..
but other then when joking with friends.. no.
I wouldn't ever use it as a slur against a gay person.

[boyslikegirls]

always.
but i don't mean anything against gay people.

[Ekalb]

I find it weird how the homosexual community can make a word up for themselves and when people try to use the word for other meanings they get abused.
Gay used to mean happy and merry but now the homosexual community have taken over the word and made it relate to a homosexual (usually male) person.
So it's hardly fair for them to abuse others for using the word negatively and changing the meaning when they changed the meaning too.

Same with the word ***, it use to mean a cigarette but now it's another word for homosexual person.

[Aces]

Never said it and it's quite immature to say it anyways.

[Virgin Mary]

Homosexuals hijacked the word for themselves so why can't we do it again? Although it is odd considering the meaning and etymology of the word gay is happy, so in effect you're calling something happy.

[Virgin Mary]

shut up virgin mary you gay ahahahahahahahahha
No, that is a contradiction, God would not choose a gay to conceive and give birth to his son.

[Virgin Mary]

SHUT THE HELL UP
No, you are not a MOD- thus you have no control over the output of my keyboard.

[Putal]

I used to when I was younger because, I didn't know any better. I wouldn't dream of doing it now as a few of my friends are gay.

In reply to both of you, the term was not hijjacked, but manipulated. It meant flamboyant, not happy. And as YOU stereotyped us as camp, we got called gay. Gays didnt steal it, straight people made it..

[Nightrose]

well
i used to
i dont anymore

[Eamonn]

I have and I still do on the odd occasion.

[Breakfloor]

i do alot. but i dont call people gay as homosexual. i dunno what i use it as but im not homophobic and i dont use it to offend gay people or offend gay people

[@xP]

i say it even if the person isn't gay for a mess about

[Roboevil]

I call everyone and everything is gay. If you're homosexual, I call you gay, if you're not, I call you gay. I call your mother gay, your clothes gay, your face is gay, your arms are gay, your legs are gay, your feet are gay. If people try to be smart and go "OMG LIKE WHAT LOL MY FEET FANCIES OTHER MALE FEET ROFL!11!LOL!!1" then I slap you and call you gay.

Homosexual men referred to themselves as gay, straight people called themselves gay before homosexuals did.
