Hey! California?? wadda dey, a bunch on Homos????
That's so gay.
How fruity!
Well, before we get to excited, let's hear the expert testimony from the Romance philologists.
This thread is so gay......
So along with the "n" word, we now have a "g" word that dare not be uttered!
"Rick Ayers, a retired teacher...said educating students about offensive language is preferable to policing their speech."
I'm still trying to parse this one. Does it mean "we're trying to make them internalize the censorship we want to impose so we won't get caught imposing it and run afoul of that pesky 1st Amendment stuff"?
Or does it mean "we're telling them what not to say so that we can justify punishing them if they say it, regardless of that pesky 1st Amendment stuff"?
Somebody help me out here...

How gay is that? Answer: SO.
Some of the tennagers around here have a saying when someone is being stupid:
"Don't be gay."
It eventually got shortened to "DBG", usually delivered in a dismissive tone.
I was once ratted out to my boss by someone at work who overheard me utter "that's so gay" to a co-worker, and was offended by my "extreme anti-homosexuality." My boss took me aside, and as I explained to her that where I grew up, "that's so gay" meant "that's extremely lame," she stopped me and said that's what it meant where she grew up, too. Then she explained it was no big deal, and if she hadn't made an "overt" attempt to correct my behavior, she and I could have both earned a trip to Human Resources---the principal's office of the corporate world.
My 11 year-old son says this all the time. This is ridiculous!
What a totally gay lawsuit. LOL!
Well, now the word "gay" enters the Pantheon of words one cannot say in America because of the pussification of the nation.
Have you noticed that the word "problem" has just about disappeared(except when you thank someone, the almost universal answer is "no problem" instead of "you're welcome")? "Problem" has now been transformed into the word "issue."
Everyone knows what a "problem" is, but "issue" can mean lots of things.
So, why is the word "problem" avoided at all costs?
Ugh.
Dolph: Oh, man! You kissed a girl!
Jimbo: That is so gay!
Hate speech that needs to be stamped out?????
What happened to free speech?
IMO, anti-Christian and anti-Jewish remarks are *hate speech*. Now what? Ban everything the self-appointed elite dislike. I hope she wins.
The way things are going, pretty soon we won't even be able to refer to 'homogenized milk'.
Ping = later
