Things that are Gay v.s. Things that are Not Gay
[Because some people can’t seem to get a handle on that one little adjective…]
Things that are ‘Gay’
- Homosexual people
- Bars/clubs where homosexual people sometimes gather
- Weddings between two people of the same gender
Things that are not ‘Gay’
[and should, therefore, not be called gay]- Things that you dislike
- Inanimate objects
- Things that are pink and/or sparkley
- Games that you lose at
- People who beat you at those games
- [However, they may also be Homosexual]
- Females with short hair/
Females who you find unattractive/
Females who reject your sexual advences- [However, they may also be Homosexual]
- Things that you dislike
- Things that you dislike
- Things that you dislike
In Summation:
- Stop using the word ‘Gay’ in a derogatory manner
- Stop using the word ‘Gay’ to describe bad things
- Think about what you are really saying:
- Could a better adjective, which doesn’t marginalize and hurt a group of people, fit here?
- Could these words hurt someone close to me, by associating a part of their identity with bad, distasteful, or annoying things?
-This has been a PSA from your friendly neighborhood Lesbian
Disclaimer: This list is far from complete. Other examples of words which shouldn’t ever really be used, in any circumstances, include “Faggot” and also “Dyke”.
I also understand that it takes time for people’s speech patterns to change. Everyone was an idiot when they were younger, and many people got in the habit of saying these negative and hurtful things on a common basis. I understand that people try, but these things sometimes slip out in conversation. All I ask is for you to try, and then maybe try a little harder. Words hurt. -
