I hate the P.C. urge to get rid of That's So Gay.
Ya know what? I'm gay, and I say it all the time. And yes, I mean lame, when I say it. But "lame" won't do. Because I specfically mean the kind of lame that all sissified and prissy, overly sensitive and, sorry, no better word for it than "gay."
Funny how a word can have many meanings, because when I talk about people being gay, I mean that they are homosexual and nothing more.
Amazing how the English language can accommodate that kind of thing, yet it can.
And I try and respect my gay friends who hate the phrase by not saying it (so much) around them. But I feel an especial license to use the term to my heart's desire. And I can say "fag," too ... and even mean a cigarette depending on the context.
I can't see the ad campaign succeeding, and I think a slight backlash is more likely than not.
Yep, that means the ad campaign is gay.
