Hey...Does this belong on Main Discussions? Maybe they should make a whole new format called Gay Discussions

I of course picked anything I listen to. Gay is a good thing...right?

Once PGA's John Daly was participating to a long drive contest with amateur big hitters: in the crowd, a man shouted to him if he turned gay because Daly was outdriven by most of the competitors. Daly answered: "Why, are you gay?"

What are you saying...there is some sort of homosexual innuendo found in Queen's material? Why, that's completely preposterous. Freddie just happened to be one of those macho men that could get away with a bushy mustache and tight colorful tank-top. And he contracted HIV the same way as Magic Johnson (or any manly man)...by nailing lots of skanky whores.

And David Bowie and Mick Jagger were just reading the bible together in bed with the lights off. From what I hear, it happened all the time in those days.

I'm not sure if it's just me that thinks this, but it looks for all the world like there are some xenophobic people mistaking the term "gay" for some kind of insult...

Surely art is not intrinsically of one sexual persuasion or another???

^ if Art itself has an orientation, it's more likely to be gay than straight

I agree, but a picture speaks more than 1,000 words:

I didn't think there was, until I heard hardcore rap (the truly offensive kind). I didn't think there might be anything worse than that, and then I heard death/black metal. I can't believe people listen to that garbage.

I still don't understand why "worse" and "gayer" and "crap" seem to be interchangeable. That seems very wrong and discriminatory to me.

Cert, I regret to inform you that, like it or not (I certainly DON'T!) North American youth (generally via California and the "entertainment" industry -- thus likely headed your way) have now made the term gay synomynous with "stupid" or "lame." Dead

Thus, when I taught teens a couple of years ago, they would condemn a book, which was devoid of homosexual themes or characters, but which they didn't like (they hated being made to read, or even think!), as "gay." ConfusedOuch (Must have made any gay youth in the room feel very comfortable and welcome, no?) I didn't tolerate the use of the word as an insult in my class, BTW, but it has now become one of their favourite and most hurtful insults for one another, and teens who are discovering their non-hetero orientation are often driven to depression and suicide by a youth culture that is nortoriously homophobic. There seems to be somewhat less racial predjudice than in my day, but the acceptance of gays really seems to have diminished with the advent of AIDS (and the erroneous perception of it as a homosexual disease), and the burgeoning power of the Christian (Republican) right in the U.S.Thumbs Down

Sad, but true....Ouch

Perhaps I thus shouldn't have taken part in this potentially hurtful poll, but the Village People were shameless flamers, weren't they? I HATED disco -- still do -- brainless twaddle!

 Of course I like Bowie and Lou Reed and even some early Elton John just fine -- it's what I perceive as lame and contrived that I really dislike. I can't listen to Abba without making fun of them -- other seemingly sane people love them.ConfusedYing Yang

I agree completely with you guys. My daughter throws that word around with anything she doesn't like. It is always a bit painful to hear her comments.

In Reed Lovers case...I don't think he meant any harm., which by the way...he started this thread and not me...and Reed Lover isn't gay just to clear things up.

You're totally right...Being part of the so called youth culture (mainly because of the age) I can affirm such a development. The term "gay", "schwul" in germany, is often used as an insult and wickedly, it became a standard expression for things or activities people simply dislike. And it's no artless exeption, it's said over and over again...it became standard, you could almost add it to the dictionary
