The OFFICIAL "GAY" thread about saying "gay"

I know to some people this is a touchy subject but i was just wondering what everyone's thoughts are about saying "gay". I go to a school where everyone says "gay", i don't even think about it. Come to think of it, i can't think of anyone (my age) who doesn't say gay. It goes right along with, "That was retarded, this is stupid, that's gay." Does anybody remember when this started or when everyone started saying it? What do gay people think about this? Does anybody NOT say "gay"? Is there a point where you grow out of say it?

Whoever uses it in that form has a very small vocabulary, are most likely very immature, and have very little to no intelligence.

I grew out of it early in high school. I know that people don't use it as a derogatory term usually, but I don't feel the need to say it anyways. I used to care a lot and find it offensive, but I've stopped caring.

no, you don't grow out of it...unless you're gay.
haha, no but seriously, i still say gay all the time. I think i first remember hearing people say the word "gay" as slang in like 8th/9th grade. that was about 9-10 years ago. im old i guess....gay.

i just couldn't imagine a 16 yr old giving that reponse. Did u ever say it when u were younger? if so, when did u stop? if you've never said it all, then nevermind.

Yeah I'm sure I have, but at one point in my life I realized that
using it will only bring judgment upon myself and that there are many other words I can use to articulate what I want to say.
Like I said before, it has a lot to do with maturity.

because according to the logic applied to your previous (first) response... I'm apparently black.

true...it does have to do with maturity.
I think being mature all the time is boring though...there are times when it is definitely inappropriate and downright embarassing to use (church/public places in general/work...etc)...but just chillin' with friends or shootin' the shit who cares?

I had this black teacher in Community College who really liked to bust my balls, and i wrote a paper on minorities, and she said that they preferred "people of color" and that minorities was old school and offensive. I told her i didn't fee comfortable using "people of color" because that implies that im a person with no-color...just a transparent invisible (wo)man if you will. She said that i was using my "white-power" to name her people and just re-confirming her suspicions that i was racist by attempted to opress her by not calling her what she wanted to be called.
so then i told her that apparently race is all she thinks about, because my paper about minorities was really referring to midgets, the handicap and people with hair lips.
She told me i was a smart ass. I told her she was a bitch.
So i got kicked out of the class and I had to take some ehtnic-awareness class that the dean recommended.
im not racist at all. but she genuinely was a bitch. end story.

actually if u want to get extremely logical,nigger means an unsophisticatied person, not just a black person.
