when will 'gay' run out?

Purely antagonistic racial and sexual bigotry aside, terms such as 'gay' and "n****r," have remained popular in today's american lexicon as playful derision for many groups.

While I do not see n***** here, I do see the term "gay" used quite frequently to playfully deride one another. I wonder, when, if ever, do you think it will expire? What do you think will cull it from the lexicon first: obsolescence, relegation to the taboo, or formal abolishment?


<--not gay, just curious*


*curious about our lexicon😛
 
I dont know but the day it does, it will be a sad sad day for all of mankind.









....because you know, without happyness im pretty sure that just leaves sadness. so lets just have a gay ol' time while we can before it runs out!
 
Once we get rid of Black History Month, BET, Bravo, Gay Pride Parades, and everything that reminds us of how different we are, that will end. Since none of those will stop, it will never end.
 
I call things "gay" in fun

Remember that before all the homos took the word, gay meant "happy"

Read a novel from the 1950s and you will read them using the word gay in the context of happy.

I use 'gay' too in fun. I've just never met a homosexual man or woman that took offense to it, yet. But I'm probably a bigot asshole. I also call people retards and some of my closer personal friends, 'fags'. And I laugh at dead baby jokes. Plus I try to at least kill 3-4 kittens a week, y'know?

We all have to do our part. Screw you Hilliary Duff.
 
I don't care for the term gay as a generic insult, or whatever. I'd be lying if I said I never used it, but it's damned rare. It just gets tedious hearing it after awhile, and I think it shows a lack of vocabulary on the part of the user.
