so i guess saying "that's gay and fagtarded" is really really wrong then?
how about queer? is that offensive? a bunch of people marching in the street yelling "we're here, we're strange, of a questionable nature or character, and suspicious!" seems rather absurd to me, but if they want to be proud of that, rock on.
i just do not see it. i really really don't. just because a group of people use a word to describe themselves doesn't give them total rights over that word. gay means happy. gay means homosexual. gay means Bright or lively, especially in color: a gay, sunny room. it means given to social pleasures, it means dissolute; licentious.
i think dissolute and licentious are pejoratives, right? hmmm...... so i cannot use a word, that could already be taken as a pejorative, in a pejorative sense? even when it has nothing to do whatsoever with the group of people who claim it as their own and in no way is a reflection of that group at all?
it's ok when it works in reverse though. bad used to mean not good. now it means awesome. "that's a bad motorscooter!"
its just crazy how language evolves and changes.
"so there," i ejaculated, right in his face.
