I'm guilty of it myself...although for the right reasons. A lesbian-copuple which comes to my BBQ yearly were sporting t-shits that said effectivly "You're homophobic..." (on the front) and "That's so Gay." on the back
I borrowed it for the thread above.
Calling something gay is negative for now, but that's likely to change with the fad. With every passing generation, words, terms and prhases come and go because each generation is trying to differentiate themselves from the previous one.
Take a look at the word
good. A few years ago, something was "cool", then it was "bad", then "Wicked" or "gnarley", now it's "sick"...as in, "Did you hear the new Nine-Inch-Nails CD? That shit is sick!"
Terms for having sex change too...anyone remember "knocking boots?". How about "Doing the vertical mambo", or "Parking"?
It's a term...it'll live on for a while...then die off, a passing fad.
If you're really going to get upset, try something which has been around for a while, and is likely to be around for a while (And is derogatory to homosexual men).
"Get out of my way
cocksucker!"
