Topic	Is it possible to use gayness as an insult yet be okay with gay people?
Zeus 05/10/17 11:58:21 PM #12:	Sure. Like if I walked into a room and noticed my male friend was staring at male's ass, I might say, "That's gay, bro." I guess you could also say, "That's bi, bro," but it doesn't have the same ring to it and it's awkward because you could also say that if he was checking out a chick's ass. CountessRolab posted... Is it possible to use the word "mexican" as an insult and still be ok with mexicans? Sure, but it is still incredibly disrespectful and makes you look bad. Except in no context does that actually work. Well, I guess maybe if you caught them wearing a sombrero and poncho while eating a REAL taco, not like the American tacos you get at Taco Bell... but even then that's a stretch. CountessRolab posted... Metro2 posted... How come no one ever says "That's so straight" ? Because using gay as an insult stems from the antiquated view that homosexuality makes someone/something inferior. No, it's because 95% of the population is straight -- including the speaker -- so it's a meaningless insult. It'd be like saying "Your mom is a whore!" in a country where everybody's moms are whores. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash <cite>Zeus posted [p:878872186] in Is it poss...
