Why is everything gay now?

[whit19]

No, I'm not saying serebii forums are gay. :-p

What I mean by that question is why is it that every little thing someone does is considered gay?

Ex. A male hugs another male cuz he hasn't seen him in a long time. Or if a male's friend dies and he goes and holds them in his arms while crying. Or when a guy says I love you man. (Love as in like a brother)

It's like anything someone does around the same gender that involves touching is just... gay. :-P

Someone might be wondering why I asked this question.
Answer: I thought it would be interesting to talk about.

*Puts on flaming clothes, including a flaming cap, shoes, and shades.*

[Grumpy Older Man]

Just about anything embarassing or dorky or childish is considered "gay" to morons.

"Pokémon is gay, yo. It's for little kids." would be a perfect example.

To answer more to the point though, it's homophobia.

[jigglyskitt]

Cause all the homophobes want to protect thier own masculanity, so they classify anything they can as "gay".

And as the corrupted little gay kid I am, I find it rather stupid. >_>

[kukkyou_ooraka]

You know whats really gay and messed up. People stating that they are in there teens, but come on this website as really thirty or forty year olds with nothing to do or accomplish. Get a life I say. -__-

[jigglyskitt]

^You're doing exactly what we're complaining about.*sigh*

And most of the people here ARE around 13. >_>

[pisces_beedrill]

it is getting even more stupid here in uganda!!! a boy who likes cats is considered gay.

[Darato]

I have been told im gay cos i cryed. The day my sister lost her baby

[Puffs]

stuff like that really pisses me off. And it seems that the peak of the damned trend has blown over to Uganda.

[Kaine]

Edward Elric Pokemon 9 is not for little kids for its gore violence and for its evil malice

[Kaine]

Fat Man David where's your sisters baby

[That Scary Clefairy]

I have been told im gay cos i cryed. The day my sister lost her baby

You should have punched that guy in the face. I would. At least if you did, it would be one step closer to your goal: TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!!!

[Blackjack Gabbiani]

Because people are homophobic idiots who want to point the finger at any sort of closeness as being 'wrong'. They're being stupid.

[Vic Rattlehead]

I find it more annoying that "gay" is used as an insult, or to describe something that is "bad," or distasteful. It doesn't come as much of a suprise, as homosexuality is stil looked down upon in society, but even so, it is rather annoying.

I think society has come to a point were the mention of gay is used....all the time. I mean, I say somthings gay because it looks homosexual, not because its bad.

[pisces_beedrill]

gay is getting annoying. i never wanna use that word ever again. it is used as abuse like f*ck, it is so annoying, i never use the word. i just say homosexual. it is annoying.

[kukkyou_ooraka]

gay is getting annoying. i never wanna use that word ever again. it is used as abuse like f*ck, it is so annoying, i never use the word. i just say homosexual. it is annoying.

Homsexual....Gay. Homosexual.....or Gay. I cant choose! lol

[pisces_beedrill]

well, gay and homo are the normal terms but now someone as an abuse can yell "you are gay!" before they would have said "you are a bit*h"

[Darato]

You should have punched that guy in the face. I would. At least if you did, it would be one step closer to your goal: TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!!!


Thanks. I was going to but my girl friend got to him first. Come on if some one dies its ok to cry.

[MondoTR]

I find it more annoying that "gay" is used as an insult, or to describe something that is "bad," or distasteful.
Agreed. I also don't like how a lot of people use "retarded" for the same reason.

[pisces_beedrill]

everyone cries, like i cried when my mum left to afghanistan. no one dared call me gay...

[Chatsy]

How odd since the term "gay" means being homosexual or happy.

So if people see something they don't like, then it's either happy, or homosexual, or in other words;
Different from themselves of which they can't accept.

People are pathetic to not accept difference.

[Sora]

Individuality is frowned upon is society nowadays.

I will admit I have called something gay. Metal Gear Solid. But a guy grabbing another guys nuts to see if it's his gay lover or not, what other choice did I have?

[pisces_beedrill]

i hate people who call themselves normal...

[Puffs]

there's no real definition of normal. Except maybe the Pokemon type Normal, but that's something different.

[Hyde]

there's no real definition of normal. Except maybe the Pokemon type Normal, but that's something different.
Normal-Conforming with, adhering to, or constituting a norm, standard, pattern, level, or type.

[Blackjack Gabbiani]

Yes, but what defines the norm?

[Puffs]

Normal-Conforming with, adhering to, or constituting a norm, standard, pattern, level, or type.

The Dictionary can sometimes argue with philosophy.

BTW, I like your sig.

[Eszett]

The pressures of society define the norm. And yes, I'm tired of this "gay" stuff too...the people that use it in a disparaging manner are either insecure or otherwise not smart enough to come up with a term that actually makes sense.

[Infinite Master Sceptile]

Am I gay because I'm 15 and still collect adorable Beanie Babies? Of course not. And I cry often. Does that make me gay? NO! Why? Because I am attracted to girls. And that is what counts. Nothing else matters in defining a gay person. The whole definition is based on sexual preference.

[That Scary Clefairy]

So the basic lesson we all learn new here is: That there is more people out there that don't read the dictionary then we realize.

I will admit i've use to use the gay term on other things but I got over that and stop using it.

[Heracross]

Heh, one of my favorite quotes from the forums here was from a few months ago when some random n00b used the word gay to insult the fourth Japanese Pocket Monsters intro. To which Murgatroyd responded "I'm glad you found it to be cheerful." I guess you had to be there to really appreciate it, but it still makes me chuckle to think about it.

[pisces_beedrill]

basically yeah. i begin hating alot of people

[Dawnstar]

Stupid people...(ones who use gay in it's terms that are not true, such as something being stupid or wimpy) When people use it at school, I call them morons, they don't even know how to use a word correvtly.

GAH, it's driving me insane how stupid people can be. I should show EVERYONE the whiptail lizard (only females). They don't even have males in the species. People would probably start calling it the gay lizard. Then I could take one to school and scare away the homophobes. Yay!

Lol, anyways, I think people should stop using the word in the incorrect manner already x.x It's irritating.

[Selestius]

Most kids in the urban area think animé, computers, and non-sports video games are "Gay". What...the...hell...It's just them being them - stupid jackasses for judging us for our likes. Not everyone has to be a thug to be cool. Girls like guys for who they are, not how they act.

Kids now try to impress girls by making jump shots blindfolded, but, sadly, they can never keep their girls, since they always want to impress another. Some impress girls by being a gentleman, like myself, and I have a ton of girls kiss me whenever I see them, some the most popular girls in school.

So, just be yourself, even if they call you gay. Poeple called me "Gay MF", "Thing sucker", "White-***," when I'm not even white at all. I'M PUERTO RICAN, Damn it! (not those idiots that act stupid) I just have that light complexion - I inherited it from my ancestors. They're just stupid and think everything that is not, in their opinion, what they want, then it is gay.

I stand on this judgment.

+Selestius - Dawn of the Moonlight+

[Silver Ryu]

I think it's dumb how people use "gay" as an insult. There's nothing wrong with being gay. And it's OK to cry, or have Beanie Babies, or like cats. Those people are just homophobic jerks, so ignore them.

[Serebii.Net Sucks]

Edward Elric was spot on, the best way to describe these people is morons. Morons using words in a derogatory manner in a completely incorrect way, most likely not even knowing their true meanings. They're ignorant and it shows no understanding whatsoever. They're only fooling themselves.

10 letter limit :D

[Esperante]

It's not homophobes, it's just morons. The same morons who decide if something is "cool" or "in" or any crap like that.

[Fiery Blaziken]

I admit to calling stuff "gay" before, though I rarely use it now. Some kid called my gay cause I liked Pokemon. People who use "gay" as an insult are idiots. (Yes that includes me too)
Heh, one of my favorite quotes from the forums here was from a few months ago when some random n00b used the word gay to insult the fourth Japanese Pocket Monsters intro.

=P

[Selestius]

Exactly - these people are morons. The majority of them think everything's gay. There's an old saying, I think: "Those who say, do." Meaning, those who say it's gay, are gay.

+Selestius - Dawn of the Moonlight+

[Serebii.Net Sucks]

Although that's not strictly true.

[Tropical Spirit]

They are just insecure >_> That's why they try to classify everything possible to 'gay', thus 'protecting' their masculinity.
Our society is goddamn f*cked up. I don't hug same-sex friends, but not because I 'don't want want to do that in public', it is because people harassed it so much that male teenagers may have even forgot the 'hug' act >_>
Also, I LOL @ the people why call me gay. HARD. Now having a sense of cleanliness and being gentle is considered 'happy'. I get asked if I am gay by people I don't even know about three times every month >.<

[Selestius]

With same-sex hugging, there's one 'manly' one, by patting the back - hard as hell, to test endurance, but that's about it. Just ignore them. I was playing Pokémon in front of everyone during the last days of school, and some kids were s******ing. It goes to show you how many people are immature.

+Selestius - Dawn of the Moonlight+

[Final Assault]

They're also trying to act cool. I hear it all the time from those wannabe-thugs at my school. It just makes me mad when I hear someone call somebody else gay. And when they call an object such as a shirt,shoes...ect gay. It's an object. It can't be homosexual...:P

[Tamer Zack]

Don't be to bother by it people 1 thing I notice is that gay seems to be the new word instead of lame. How that happens?

[Tropical Spirit]

Don't be to bother by it people 1 thing I notice is that gay seems to be the new word instead of lame. How that happens?
By homophobes who think gay people are lame >>;;; I isn't hard to figure out IMHO.
Plus, stuff go 'in' and 'out' all the time. All the stuff. Like the abuse of the word 'ignorant'.

[TSL]

My friend, like Ed said, calls anything he doesn't like "gay"
TIME TO GROW UP, EH BUD?
XD

[MondoTR]

Don't be to bother by it people 1 thing I notice is that gay seems to be the new word instead of lame.
More like it replace retarded. Which shouldn't be used that way either.

[Serebii.Net Sucks]

Its certainly not homophobic in the majority of cases. More likely a lack of understanding, if they genually think said article is "gay", they obviously don't know what gay means in the first place.

[turboredeemed]

Personally, I am afriad of homosexuals, no offense, *see tinky winky the telletubbie and runs for his life* See what I mean?

[Hothead]

No, I'm not saying serebii forums are gay. :-p

What I mean by that question is why is it that every little thing someone does is considered gay?

Ex. A male hugs another male cuz he hasn't seen him in a long time. Or if a male's friend dies and he goes and holds them in his arms while crying. Or when a guy says I love you man. (Love as in like a brother)

It's like anything someone does around the same gender that involves touching is just... gay. :-P

Someone might be wondering why I asked this question.

*Puts on flaming clothes, including a flaming cap, shoes, and shades.*because some people are stupid and they just say it to be cool and if they say it alot they could actually gay

[Ziggy]

I guess because people now are using the word "gay" to classify anything they dislike. Or simply because they are morons, immature enought not to understand that "gay" shouldn't even be considered an insult in the first place. And maybe because they are narrow-minded homophobics, or simply stupid people. I wish I had an accurate answer to this question, but everyone I ask about it either answer "No idea, I just say so" or "Because it looks gay, duh". "Gay" seems to be the new groove.

[Serebii.Net Sucks]

Tinky Winky is an example of a fictional character that should never have been created.

[Kakashi-Sharingan Warrior]

Tinky Winky is an example of a fictional character that should never have been created.
the actual person in the tinky winky costume was the gay one, even though the character shows signs of homosexuality

did i mention the dude in the dipsy suit 'loves' animals?

well I am fed up of people using the term 'gay' as an insult, I kicked a guy in my form repeatidly like hell because he called the japanese gay, as well as the fact that he said all black people are dirty and scum, I hate racism and people who misuse words like 'retarded' 'spastic' 'gay' etc

especially since I was born with special needs, my freinds know that if anyone says something around me mis using one of those words I go completely mad.

[Tropical Spirit]

You just got your first step in the path of danger, my friend. =D
I'm not the integral gay defender here (Even though I have nothing against it) but you should hope P_B or others don't see this :P Don't be a homophobe here, unless you want to die a painful death =D If you must, go be a homophobe at school (where it's accepted o0;;; ).

[Cipher Admin Anti-Shipping]

Wow yes, all these FALSE accusations of people being gay is very wrong...[/notquitesarcasmkindofstuckinthemiddle]

[Tropical Spirit]

Wow yes, all these FALSE accusations of people being gay is very wrong...[/notquitesarcasmkindofstuckinthemiddle]
90% Of the time they are. I act like a seven-year old girl sometimes. I am kind. I am neat. I am shy.
Does it makes me gay? NO. because my gender preference is set to females, kthanksby.

[Chosen of Mana]

I'm also angry at how society is using gay as a derrogatory term. i hate how people in general society can say '0MFG! j00 l1ke l)0kém@n? Th@t's g@3y!' and get away with it. Same goes for retarded, as Belldandy mentioned. 'Z0MG! N1nt3nd0????? Th@t's f***1ng r3t@rd3d!'. I hate my generation -_-;

[PsiUmbreon]

Well, I must admit that I do find myself using the term "gay" to describe things negatively. But, I try not to. I have respect for homosexuals. As to why they use that term to describe things negatively, I'd say that being gay is viewed negatively by society, so there's a tendency to associate. Not saying it's right, that's just how it is.

[turboredeemed]

I am ALWAYS accused of being gay, but I AM NOT! DAMN, WHAT THE **** IS WRONG WITH THESE ****-HEADS!? I get horny just imagining hot girls I ahve seen havng sex with me, that is a fact, whcih also showseveryone here, I AM NOT GAY! I am SICK of people discriminating agaisnt people with asperger's, and stereotyping them as reatards and ***s/dykes.

I think Queer Eye for the Straight Guy has a big part in this. Homosexual culture is just the "it" thing at the current moment... soon it will be kicked to the curb and the mainstream media will move onto its next target.

[Laz-E-Boy]

Some of yall are taking it too seriously. Most of the time when people say something is gay they're usually joking around. You've just gotta come up with something witty to say if it's directed towards you.

Is it right that people use the term 'gay' to describe something negative? Not really. People just grew up saying it like that. It's kinda like '*****'. EVERYONE says it now, when before it was the worst a black person could hear (with the 'er'), and then it was changed to where we could say jokingly.

Right, people think the word 'gay' is a joke.

Yes, it is right that people use the word 'gay' as an insult or something, at least in my school. They think of it as another way to make some other kids feel bad.
