Most of you that know me know that I generally won't use the word 'gay ' inappropriately. In fact, often someone will say something like "oh that's gay" and I'll respond back with a reply implying a literal interpretation of what they said. For example I might say: "I don't understand why you associate taking premium gasoline with being sexually attracted to those of the same gender" and usually the people who are immature enough to say "that's gay" also are not quick enough to understand what I meant...

But anyway, in college someone said to me on direct connect, as long as he spells it "ghey" it's okay because then it's simply a new word. I accepted that and often defended people IRL by saying things like "He didn't mean gay he meant ghey so it's ok," but I haven't tested this justification in a professional setting yet.

However, I've thought of a new justification. When someone says "that's gay" regarding something that obviously isn't sexual, they are simply using a Homophone where gay doesn't mean homosexual but rather what we take it to mean colloquially (ironically it has the word homo in it). So gay away.

tthe homosexual community are the first ones to actually hijack the word gay. originally it meant happy, and joyful. now it means homosexual. i don't see why there is any reason to oppose it from turning into a more cleaner word than homosexual.

i'll use the word gay profusely in defense of this stance.

No, and it's not "such an issue" but it's just one of the many things you notice among youths.

HAHAHAHA

This reminds of the time I was in OChem getting the melting temperature of my unknown and the machine wasn't working and I called it "ghey". I hadn't noticed a somewhat flamboyant gay kid next to me he turned and said, "eeww". I smiled and said sorry for some reason I had placed my hand his shoulder when I said it. Our eyes met (LOL tried to reword it best I can do ), I realized pretty quickly what I just did, looked away, and went back to what I was previously doing. >_>

There is wild inconsistency regarding this. I only have one gay friend, and I say "gay" in the colloquial way that means "unfavorable" all the time around him. He actually does the same thing. But one time, I said something in the checkout line of a grocery store, about something on a magazine being "gay," and this woman freaked out on me saying her cousin was gay or something.

I think what should be kept in mind is, who cares?

Is this supposed to be some sort of revelation? Nobody says shit is gay and means it's homosexual, they just mean it's lame/stupid. Similarly, saying "fuck it" does not mean you want to stick your dick into whatever "it" may be, and saying something is "shit" does not mean fecal matter. Neither does saying "god damn it" literally mean you want god to damn whatever it is to hell.

No it wasn't a revelation about whether or not somebody actually means gay.

Dude I've thought of a great word that's pronounced the same way as nigger, except it means something entirely unrelated to black people, so now we can use it in daily conversation, right?
But why?

You thought of it :p

Also, nigger is offensive by default; gay isn't.
