I personally, absolutely hate when people use the word gay in that way, especially when they think its ok to do that. Some facts about this that there are plenty of kids that use gay as a derogatory term and other words that they commonly use to taunt and denigrate their peers - words that play on disability or racial differences. It’s said when you use gay as a derogatory term means that you are homophobic. “Gay” is a shortened or another term to describe someone’s sexuality (ex. Homosexual). Using the word gay to describe men who are not afraid to express their feelings or be romantic is a very narrow-minded. If a man doesn't have the typical macho man attitude and doesn't mind showing emotion, don't automatically assume that the person is gay.
