happy pride weekend, lovers
oh, man. i have a problem. ugh, it's the kind of problem that makes you think i'm an uptight, humorless literalist. blech.
well, it's coming off my chest. so, here it goes: i don't like the use of the word "gay" as a synonym for "stupid" or "ridiculous." for example, "look at john trying to do those chris brown moves - he looks so gay." or, "who wrote that terrible yelp review on my favorite hamburger joint? that's so gay." arrrrgh! just say what you mean! you don't mean "homosexual"! you mean "uncoordinated," "tasteless," whatever. since when are those adjectives synonymous with "gay"? no, no, no. this is wrong, wrong, wrong.
and i know i'm probably getting more worked up than people who are actually gay. like when g came out to our christian fellowship leader people in college and they, like, demoted him or something. total haters. so i got so pissed that i hated on organized churchianity and had them talk to the hand for like seven years. so, i can just see g chuckle at me and tell me who cares whatever. and i wanna be like that - oh, i could relax so much more. but i just can't; it bugs me! it's really frustrating when someone takes the "gay" name in vain, cuz i have to bite my tongue so i don't come off like some liberal, pc, synonym nazi. my tongue bleeds and then i end up taking it out on my bf or, worse, my friendly fro yo assembler. c'mon, you gave that other guy waaaaay more toppings. yer gonna screw up my fro yo:toppings proportions if you don't give it up, scrooge!
and yet...sometimes i say "that's retarded." ugh. totally messed up, huh.
