"Gay" as an insult?

[Chronotia Archzenom]

Ah! Gay is also part of either a boy or a girl's names.

Examples

b: Michael Gay Smith and Robert Gay Malcolm
g: Stephanie Gay and Genivive Gay Rosemarie.

But gay is a term used universally between each other and is ACCEPTED.

Coon is not.

Sorry, you fail this round.

Hello missing the point.

Gay is NOT universally accepted. I know no gay person who uses it at all the way straight people use it as a derogatory.

You wouldn't be able to get away with calling something black, meaning crap.

i.e. 'This thread is black'.

This doesn't just mean extend to skin colour, we couldn't call it Jewish either.

And it's not about winning or losing :eyebrow:

What gay people do you hang around with? Because the gay people I hang around with proudly call themselves gay.

You're missing the point my friend, what black person runs around calling themselves coon.

PROUD TO BE A COON!

Come on, what planet do you think I was born on. The last thing that would come from my lips is the me and coon in the same damned sentence.

CAN YOU FUCKING STOP?

Seriously, are you deaf, dumb or stupid? Or are you all three because EVERYONE tells you to stop, even the mods, and yet you constantly keep posting stupid irrelevant posts in these threads. Just STOP IT.

Okay, I understand your confusion here, I should have put 'nigga'. Coon is a bit of a harsher word.

Educated black people like myself (tho im quarter, or slightly more) don't call each other "nigga" proudly, but I won't get into that subject since that's a train wreck all in itself .

I used to get really pissy about it but I don't really care, so long as there's no homophobia behind it... I use words like 'gay' or 'faggot' or 'ponce' in that way sometimes, but only jokingly or in the same way another race would use their own racial slurs.
However, particularly with worse words, I do understand where they're coming from. It is completely socially unacceptable to call someone a "nigger" unless you're black, dating a black person or you're on the internet, but "faggot" is rarely the same, and when people use it in real life, especially just kids in school, and teachers or parents don't call them out on it, it just keeps the stigma going. And it doesn't help that, until college, there's next to no education about the injustice and cruelty gay people experience, or the morality or theorised causes behind it.



My 8 and 13 year old cousins used to say 'that's gay' all the time, but now they just say 'that's Jewish'... Probably because my aunt thinks I'm gay, because my mother told her, because she thinks I'm gay, because I told her, even though it's not true... But nobody likes Jews anyway.

Right, going to be closing this thread as obviously not everyone agrees on the subject at hand and it's the sort of thing that can easily personally offend someone and cause arguments to drag on and on.
