I'm bi-sexual but don't tell people until I get close with them, this way they will realize by now there is more to a person than their sexuality and they don't even pay attention to it.

Plus if someone calls me gay I just tell them to stop worrying because I don't pay attention to them due to my 5 inch minimum rule. (don't really have one but they still get really angry)

So detailed.  

They should make a counter for graalians too


v---time to shame these graalians for over using such a sensative word

Was gonna be a hat, but hats are gay, so I made it not gay.

No it still looks gay.

Limbs look kind of funky, and tool small. There's also a lot of random stuff on the back of his head. I can't make out what that's supposed to be.

Other than that it's cool, in a gay way.

do gays think being straight is disgusting?

I hope not. Some people being straight is a necessity of life, otherwise how would humans continue?  

The sad fact is gay slurs won't stop just as discrimination hasn't, nor will it ever. I see no meaning in trying to alienate or attempt to silence the slurs and language, because it's just going to get it used more. Just let them be used, but ignore it instead of look at the person who used it with disgust.

If you're a feminist wouldn't you fight for racial/gay/etc equality/rights if you truly do believe in equality for all? Seems more like "lul im a gurl and im guna feminist becuz it promotes meee", least it does in Sweden.

How is feminism at all relevant to what imprint just said? I don't even see where it's implied that Imprint is one... 0-0

I disagree with the notion that discrimination won't/hasn't stopped. In modern history societies have quickly been progressing. Hell, just look at the past 100 years. Slurs will always exist though, and they will always change and shift around.

I use "you" in plural form a lot.

But what about bi-sexuals? I've heard they get a LOT of hate from both sides.

Bisexuals get the most hate out of all, most gay's think they're just experimenting and most straights think they're just denying being gay. They have it pretty hard.  

Ohh... This thread makes me nervous.

Does anybody remember or Watch modern family when the gay couple and their daughter lily go to their first day of kindergarten and she gets her hair pulled and the couple is actually two women who are lesbians.

Pretty much how I feel, but to add on to your thing about feminism and ****...it's like...I dunno. You (plural, not you) claim to be fighting for equality yet you're only catering to one group and focus on the rights for just that one group. It makes no sense. If you actually believe in equality then you'd preach general equality, not focus on just ONE thing that needs to be "pushed up" to equality. It's weird to me, I dunno.

Actually, it will take a while for women and men to become equal because women have never oppressed another gender. Feminism in developed countries focuses on the cultural side of things, ie being judged in the media for how she looks when nobody says "Obama is old and ugly, therefore he cannot be successful"; however Feminism in developing countries is so much more. Yes, men are objectified/develop eating disorders/are victims of domestic abuse/are raped but definitely not as much as women.

There's some bat**** feminists running for power here in Sweden, they're pretty much your tumblr type of idiots. It's really dumb too, because Sweden is quite equal and has always been progressive when it comes to homosexuality and gender inequality.

Read above.

Back on topic. As someone said with '******ed', all of these words have come to disassociate themselves with gay & lesbian behaviors (at least in my part of the world they are).  

I'm an advocate of treating language as a fluid thing that can change, and urge people to look for context in words. While it's unfortunate that the term "gay" has been used as a negative adjective, the connotation as being a hateful slur to throw at people you genuinely want to see dead has long faded. Words like ****** are still in that vein, true, but even then I look to the person behind the words rather than trying to write everything off as a "this word must never be used by anyone" policy that I've seen some people operate.

I respect anyone who tries to reduce the use of harmful language, but I dunno if "shaming" is the best approach. In my experience online, it doesn't seem to really encourage the person to change at all. I know this sounds like an awful lot of effort and consideration for people who are seemingly offering none in return, but I think it'd be more productive in the long run.

Was saying if you said the word gay people would probably think it was inappropriate.
