You may feel like it doesn't matter, but in reality there are many gay or bisexual individuals who won't come out because people still support such jargon. No, there are many gay people out there who are not flamboyant and feminine. And these gays are those who do not want to deal with the stigma str8 people force onto such a life style. Those who say that it is life and deal with it need to try thinking the way of "what gives the person the right to treat someone that way".
On the stand that the English language evolves constantly, it does because people are lazy and do not want to actually learn nor apply a vocabulary let alone gather the actual respect for an individual to think that they are really doing something that brings even more negative connotations to a lifestyle that is hard to begin with.
Honestly, what you just said is mean and heartless. It is the exact thing that people in my shoes are fighting against. You are the kind of people who "passively" discriminate. You wont do it to the victims face because that would make you look bad and tarnish your reputation of being a non hateful person. in reality, you are. Sorry to burst your bubble, but thinking, acting, and saying things like that only makes the argument stronger. You are directly supporting hate and making people who are gay feel like they can't be who they are without having to be hated on and treated like dirt.
thank you for your heart warming support for hate.
Being apart of the so called "gay" community, I have been subjected to many cruel things that "str8" people do. I have had beer cans and bottles thrown at me, beat, harassed, and called numerous derogatory names. "Gay" people have been forced by str8 people to identify with these terms in a positive way to deal with the scrutiny and indignities we have went through. Do I personally identify as gay? NO. But str8 people do.
Being hatted against for nothing, being forced to view myself as a heinous thing, to be forced into a hell like no other, only to have people take another negative to me and those who are forced to identify with this word is beyond disrespectful.
The high school children who comment on this saying it is ok to do so are just that: Children. Many have no clue about what gays truly have to go through. The str8 children make this ok because they refuse to make the paradigm shift that shows how mean these actions are. Why? Because they would have to accept that they are wrong and that they are creating more hate.
Honestly, its pathetic. The swastika was a Hindu symbol of the sun and now has an irreversible association with the Nazis. The pink inverted triangle has been adopted as a positive image of "gay" pride. Now "gays" have to make "queer" and "fag" as a positive thing because str8 people will not change how they treat others, evidently because its to hard to treat another person with any measure of dignity, respect, or maturity.
