The Misuse of the word "gay"

[Travis [bob36455]]

Okay prepare for rant.

I absolutely hate when people misuse the word "gay." Gay is the a simile for homoloveual, not a simile for stupid.
For example, people will say "Wow, that word is so gay." Since when was a word capable of having the ability to like the same love as his/her self? Another is "School is gay." When ever someone says that, I always ask them "Why didn't anyone tell me that school likes the same love as its self?" I've been really offended about this lately for no reason, but for a good reason. I really hope I'm not the only one who thinks that the misuse of gay is wrong, and stupid.

TL;DR: Using gay for stupid is offending to people, so stop it.
Same thing goes for "friend"

Im pretty sure gay is the synonym for Happy.

As Frank Zappa said, words are just words.

it's become blatantly obvious that when people call something gay with a negative connotation, they aren't intentionally trying to be offensive to homoloveuals. The definition of the word has been altered by society to not mean homoloveual when used to describe something negatively.

You're just being a huge baby.

Get over it, seriously. I know gay people who use gay to mean stupid. Its another definition of the word now-a-days. Eventually it will die out. In like the 80s and 90s everything was handicapped or a re-re and that died out a lot.
