Ashley Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 I'd presume they are using the word "gay" in a derogatory way. So thus it kind of means "Stupid homosexual" or "Rubbish homosexual" or whatever.
UK Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 Hi, I'm Dyson, and I'm straight. I have no problem with Gay or Lesbian people. That is all. And you, my friend, have won the topic. Not only is that the most sensible thing I've heard in a while, it's also seconded for me. It just took a whole thread for me to get there, that's all.
motion Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 Hi, I'm motion, and I'm gay. I have no problem with Straight people. That is all.

chairdriver Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 Can someone clear up the reason men are called gay, and women lesbians? is there something I'm missing? History Lesson time! The term "lesbian" is much older than the term "gay". Originally the term Lesbian referred to an inhabitant of the island of Lesbos, in Greece. Everyone from Lesbos (whether Male or Female, heterosexual or homosexual) was called a Lesbian. The most famous Lesbian (she was a lesbian Lesbian) was a female writer called Sappho. In fact, she was one of the few female Greek writers whose work we still have. (The Greeks were very sexist, they thought women shouldn't write.) Sappho was very very intelligent and her work was insiteful. She wrote about her love for other woman. This was revelutionary. There were homosexual men at the time, but the Greek men thought it was impossible for a woman to homosexual. Therefore she became famous, and soon the term Lesbian became interchangeable with female homosexual. Lesbian was first used like 2300 years ago or something, whereas the term gay used to refer to homosexuals was first used in the 20th century, around 1930s/1940s. Before this, the word meant vibrant, and happy, and had no homosexual connotations. It is thought that because of the vibrantcy and life of the homosexual nightlife at this time the sense of the word changed naturally to include this. So to conclude, it might be wrong to think "why don't we just call Lesbians gay?", since the term Lesbian is much older than the term gay.
