Alright, so usually I don't stick up for anyone. But this is getting way out of hand. You'll be sitting in class/waiting in a restaurant/really doing anything that involves being near teenagers. You'll just be minding your own business, doing what you're supposed to be doing but, since teenagers are always so loud, you can't help but overhear their conversation. One teenager will find out that they've got a project/the restaurant is out of coke/their girlfriend is humping their brother, and the first thing you'll hear out of the kids mouth is ' That's gay.' How is that gay? I've given three different examples. One involves homework, one involves a lack of coke and the other involves STRAIGHT SEX! The reason that they state that it's gay is because people are so homophobic that the meaning of gay has changed.

It used to be that you'd be sitting in school/at a restaurant/going for a walk and you'd hear about how the kid in your biology class outed himself. Your first reaction would be 'I need a new biology partner.' Sure, homophobia was a big thing back then. but in my opinion, the only one that matters, today's homophobia is worse. I mean, when the definition of gay is now 'See Stupid' we've got a problem.

Gay and stupid are NOT the same thing. The love between a man and a man is nothing that I want to be involved in or hear about, but it should not be synonymous with stupid! I have multiple gay friends, and most of these guys are far from your stereotypical gay. These guys could fit in with any group of straight guys and they'd have no problem. No wait, I take that back. They wouldn't fit in because if they dislike something, they don't say ' That's gay.' These guys are actually creative enough to come up with something THAT ACTUALLY MEANS WHAT THEY WANT TO SAY. Just because they happen to enjoy men does not mean that they are stupid. The stupid people are people like your average jock, who will go around, calling everything bad gay and making fun of faggots, but at the same time, these are the guys that shower with a bunch of other men.

Now, you're probably wondering why I wrote this. Many of you, since you probably have the intelligence of Phatweb, are probably thinking ' LOL! HE ROTE THIS CUZ HES GAY! LOL!!!!!!111!!!'. Wrong. I wrote this article because I live in Canada. Canada is a country where one of the main languages is English. I speak English every day. Do you really think I want to see the language slaughtered? No! Words have meanings for a reason, and when you start to change those meanings, you start to change the language.

So the next time you have a project/cant get coke/get cheated on, remember, it's stupid, it sucks, you dislike it, it bothers you, BUT IT'S NOT GAY!
