Calling someone a fruit is and will always be funny. Or calling something fruity is funny aswell. I prefer to call things homosexual. It sounds more sophisticated. Or my favorite "Youre a fucking homo". Gay jokes are funny. Period, whats funnier than a guy who acts like hes a woman to attract other men who dont have vaginas. Why is it that since gay dudes like anal sex, they think have have to talk/act like a girl? Most girls I know hate anal.

thats the most ridiculous thing ive read on here today, as a teen i am not compelled to call things that simply arent gay, gay. especially to "fit in"

but i know what you mean, like for example my friend asked me if my buddy had called back(my dealer) and i said no, and he was like thats gay, and i was like no...not really, its unfortunate but not gay. my friend was like wtf?

but who cares, when people say im in a pickle, we dont call them out for that and be like NO you have a problem a pickle is a cucumber that has sat in pickle juice.

its part of the english language to have stupid sayings like that, and making fun of gay people is as american as apple pie

im just really blazed and thought i would ramble on, happy tokin :rasta:

HABIT.

like over here i might even say ti to a gay guy and they sometiimes think nothing of it because they know what m actauly trying to say... like if a guy walks down the street liek...bopping over the top liek you swinging their shoulders.......that is so gay......= ..that is so pathetic,sad,weird,dumb

even most gay guys know it where i am they know its not a personal insult towards them directly its just because when we were being brought up "gay" was an insult and gay peopel wernt so open about it and most people were hateing....so now we just have the habit even if we dont really mean it.

[MistaPoleeseMan]

I mean that shit.

[yoda]

gay has come to have multiple meanings....like so many other words

i dont mean it as a diss at all to homosexuals when i say it, but im not gonna change the way i speak.

Malachy McCourt, actor, writer and brother of writer Frank, had a radio show on WMCA in New York City in the 1970's. At that time the word "gay" was just beginning to be known to the general public as "homosexual" - and Malachy didn't think that it was appropriate. He said something like, "I'm gay - but I do not have, or want to have, sex with other men!".

Now it's gotten stuck with other meanings such as "stupid".
