see i say that all the time and i just don't think it's offensive. cause when i say it i don't mean anything towards homosexuals at all. that phrase has taken on a new meaning and i just don't think people of that sexual orientation should be offended. much the same way that gay use to mean happy but it doesn't anymore. technically it does but people don't use it in that way. and so when i use "that's gay" to describe something stupid it has nothing to do with what i think of gays in general. cause i got no problem with homosexuality. i got gay friends. hell, i've got a few family members i suspect are gay.

maybe it is stupid of me to say what you should or shouldn't find offensive but i really would like to stress that i don't think most people mean anything towards gay people when they use the phrase.
