Another point brought up was that term is used to describe something 'lame' but doesn't suggest that being gay is lame WTF?? of course it does. You are giving meaning to the word.

well, I know that i use the 'term in question' a lot myself. Not only that, i use it in german too. I have friends, who are homosexual, i do not use the term around them. I guess, i am a bad person for being so insensitive, but i have a question for you:

You are homosexual. You are offended if someone calls something 'gay'.

Assume, I was unable to walk (i.e. I am LAME). Should I not be offended when people call stuff 'lame'?

Maybe you see my point. If we play this game on and on, we can pretty quickly see that, you can say very few things without offending people.

Honestly, I have never really cared much for the homosexual community. Yes, i am homophobic and been for years, maybe because I am insecure, but that is not the heart of this debate. Anyhow, I have never really cared much, and never though much about calling this and that or a person 'gay' in order to show that I did not agree with their behavior, or I disliked that 'thing' (a song, the way a car looked etc.).

Maybe, the fact that you raised your point, will make me think about this issue some more, but i must say, that i have not though much about it, even when i was aware of not using that term in certain company.

I understand that you dislike the fact that people use that term, but -first ammenment quote- in the US you are allowed to say what u want. If you don't like it, I must say, that you might want to consider not coming to these board.
NOTE: I don't dislike you, I don't want to you leave, but I think that you wouldn't read books that offended you either, would you? I mean, it is your CHOICE to read these forums and so you can choose not to read them, but I don't see how you have the right to forbid me to use the words I want to use?

one last sentence, while I appear to be on the other side, I can assure you that I will re-evaluate my usage of the word 'gay' and maybe this debate will convince me to become a little more PC, but -honestly- I don't think so.

I hope that you don't misinterpret this post as a personal offence, which it is not intened to be, but rather a representation of my views on Political Correctness.

You confused me, you say you have Gay friends, yet you are Homophobic? how is this possible. And i won't be leaving the message boards, as i have said , it doesn't bother me that much, i just thought it was something which needed to brought to everyones attention.

this will be the last time i post in this thread, everything that needs to be said has been said - and all of the Homophobic posters out there are going to continue doing what they were doing, at least the more liberal minded of you out there will notice this happening more, and maybe comment on it in the future.

Thank you and good night.

Well, I have gay friends, yet I am homophobic. I don't think that there is much of a problem. I mean, I don't let my fears prevent me from doing anything...

ok TA's listen up....
i think that some people have gone right off the track in this thread... the main issue was raised by JMF [TrAcId]
and it was simply that he and others may be offended when other TA's use the term "gay" in a degrading way...
and all he is asking for is a bit of consideration by others when using this word...
its not a major thing to ask, actually its quite simple to follow...
its not to difficult to come up with a different word
ie. use shit or lame whatever the case may be...
I think to keep the peace and everyone happy, listen to other ppl and what they have to say and take into consideration that it may offend others, its not a hard thing to do...
