The Flintstones always said they had a good time, but then they also said they had a gay time, so it is never clear what kind of time they had.

i could find you a picture on google....

read a few books and learn how to properly express yourself.

it's more to do with busybodies who get state funded work in cultural marxist pressure groups..... stuff 'em. nothing to do with ordinary gay people.

this thread is stupid but i want to share a stupid story tangentially related so i will

i was at a thrift store with my friend and we found this atari 2600 and he wanted it but it was marked at like 10 bucks and we only had like 5 bucks between the two of us in cash and they didn't take plastic because it was some tiny ass thrift store that was run by this lutheran church and so we told the lady and tried to haggle the price down and she just kind of looks at him funny and says, completely straight faced and with a hint of anger,

"what are you, some kind of a jew?"

we both just burst out laughing and she got really angry but took the five dollars to get us out and he ended up with a working atari 2600 for five dollars.

 

anyways yeah. as for using "that's gay," i dunno. a lot of gay folks will get reallllly angry at you and a lot of straight allies will probably think less of you as a person as a result but i mean it's your prerogative. maybe start using it for positive things! then you don't have to give up a phrase you like AND you're doing good. how about positive manly things, like "OH YEAH! TOUCHDOWN! THAT IS SO AWESOMELY GAY!" because like i mean what's more masculine than two guys having sex? i don't remember what comedian said that but it was a comedian and i didn't make it up but i mean it's apt, right?

 

 

honestly, I refer to you in my head as "depressing", not "disparaissant" or whatever your name is. I don't like any of your posts at all and I think that you are gay. gay as in lame.

oh no someone on the internet doesn't like me!!!

I don't say "that's gay" mainly because most of the people I know who say it are either twelve year-old boys or frat morans.

 

In moments of outrage, I do sometimes let a "that's retarded" slip, which I feel bad about afterward.

 

I think, though, it's all about your audience -- like comedy. Some things can only be funny, or have whatever intended effect, when directed towards the right people. So if you hang out with people who have the IQ and world outlook of a twelve year-old boy or frat moran, by all means "gay" yourself silly!

every man (read: person) has a weakness. I'm a good person, I help people all day long, I donate to charity, I love my neighbors and don't kill spiders. I'm so down with gay people that it's weird to differentiate them as "gay" people instead of just people. I understand that to help "their" cause I should stop saying "gay" when meaning "lame" because I'm prolonging the stigma.

But I'm just not going to. I'm drawing a line in the sand.

not even encey can dissuade me from saying that yesterday was completely gay or even that it's gay that chicken wings cost 10x more than chicken breast.

so you AREN'T down with gay people, okay gotcha.

the point you are missing here is that the introduction of the modern context for 'gay' into our language is a generational one. So whilst you say that it's exclusively the domain of 12 year olds now. They will eventually be 20 year olds, and so on. Just like the definition for gay to mean 'fine' or 'fun'. Slowly dissipated as those whom held it in their vocabulary slowly died off.

So therefore, you must see that the use of 'gay' in the modern context is on an unstoppable rise and just go with the flow, bro. Don't be gay about this.

No they won't. We're raising a generation of coddled, emotionally unstable twi-tards, and they all know it's "down the road, not across the street."

Well, you know me, you closet-case christer fratboy redneck.

PS:

I actually honestly fucking hate parades.

Fuck parades of all sorts.

Fuck them.

That is me though.

Would you say that parades are perhaps, mmmm what's the word. Gay maybe, these parades of which you speak.

Some parades are gay, in that they are gay pride parades. Yes.

However, parades, in general, are just fucking tedious.

So I'm with disp-- let's call good things "gay" and get rid of the pejorative element. Instead, things that are stupid, lamentable, tedious, etc, shall be referred to as "parade."

This thread is fucking parade.

Maybe it doesn't work. Shut the fuck up.

i've just been out with friends, girl said that she saw a guy with a shirt that said "living fag" on it. i don't really know.... fags these days eh?

no no this is an amazing idea, this thread really IS something of a parade. hoenstly, parades are just annoying, especially when you want to get somewhere along a parade route. gays don't block up parade routes, unless it's their parade! so like yeah. parade is awesome as a pejorative.

First, rule out possible Engrish

 

That shirt could have had some real relevance for gay men 1969-1981

 

I say that because there is this really eye-opening documentary called "Gay Sex In The 70's" that I saw on HBO once (hey, can't really say you weren't warned with a title like that).

 

There are many notable things in the movie--particularly the story about the empty trailers at New York docks full of naked men in the dark grabbin' for cock or anus blindly. The thing that always stuck with me was that there was a guy who counted 115 (or thereabouts) friends lost to AIDS. He printed all their pictures onto glazed porcelain and then broke it into pieces where each piece was a friend's face. Spooky.

 

I want more gay "percentages" like Impakt. He had balls to come right out with a hefty 50% I will inventory myself

 

Abiding love for Morrissey/The Smiths, Pet Shop Boys, Bronski Beat, Frankie Goes To Hollywood and House Music = 5%

Daily moisturizing of head and face = 1%

Quiet enjoyment of DeKuyper Apple Pucker Liquor either in solitude or well-hidden in more masculine drinks = 3%

Huge enjoyment from participating in socially acceptable cross-dressing/make-up/wig-wearing opportunities like Halloween or as "New Romantic" for 80's parties = 7%

Dressing as something that can only be described as "Gay Native" during childhood = 3%

Looks like xxx clocks in at *bleeping computing sounds doing calculations*

19% Gay!

Placement on Axis of Gay whereby I = Rambo and IV = Elton John

II: Partially Fabulous!

Hahaha, epic picture!

Maybe I'm the parade leader?

i don't personally know a single gay person (that i'm aware of, anyway)

wow what?

I have teacher friends who send kids out of class for using the term, but then happily use the phrase at home for the irony. I'm a little similar. I'd never say it in school as I thought it was childish. And now if I meet someone whom I don't know and s/he says it I'll take piss out of them for it. But I'll happily use the term ironically.

But the thing is, I've used it like that for so long it's more a verbal mannerism than anything else. I was watching Love, Actually against my will a little while ago. For some reason I came out with 'This is so gay' without thinking and one of the other guys who was watching it with me, who was gay, instantly retorted with YES. IT IS. I was going to explain, but I couldn't be bothered. He'd probably assumed I was gay for watching Love, Actually, anyway.

I really only use the phrase when my buddy John stops sucking my dick.
