gay gay gay

i'm presently sitting in my sign language class, for which i get my ass up early 4 days a week because i enjoy sign language, and i've just been reminded why i hate asu people.

once again, the ignorant college male attitude has infiltrated the peaceful quiet of my attention and gone and been an asshole:

"that's so gay"

"yeah dude, that's gay"

"that's way gay"

seriously, though? seriously, are you that immature that you still speak like an adolescent?
really? or have you just never been exposed to the concept of a dictionary, in which the word "gay" doesn't ACTUALLY mean "stupid" and the two are not synonymous.
does it even occur to you that maybe, just maybe, there's someone within a ten-foot vicinity who you might be offending?? or are you too self-concerned and "fuckin' cool" to care?

because when you say "that's gay," gay isn't really what you mean. you don't mean "that's so homosexual relationship" and you don't mean "that's so two women kissing." i'm pretty sure you mean "stupid." and shouldn't you just SAY what you MEAN?

sure, there's no real risk of anything getting lost in translation, and that's because we live in a world where degrading an entire community based on bigotry is socially acceptable. so bothering with silly formalities may not be your style.

but i don't really give a shit.

because when you say "that's gay" it reminds me why i'm not allowed to get married, and why i'll probably never come out to my grandparents, and why discriminating against me is still mostly okay, and why i spend a lot of time feeling hated. and i'm too chicken shit to tell you that it isn't alright to say that because i don't know you, and that makes me feel even worse. but fuck, i shouldn't HAVE to tell you because a black person shouldn't have to tell anyone why saying the N-word is unacceptable and this is just the same thing.

so from now on, i'll judge you. every time you open your mouth to speak, i'll be waiting for you to make an ignorant comment, to offend and further ostracize me. i'll never really have respect for you. and you've only further proven to me that some people are complete and total assholes who don't give two shits about whether or not their words cause harm, that some people will always be ignorant, that some people just.don't.care. and never will.

thanks asu boy, for your continued and astounding idiocy.
you've really brightened my day.



fucktwit.
