If you feel the need to use "I have gay friends" as evidence for your tolerance and greatness, you are actually proving that you are an asshole, and a bigot to boot.

THANK YOU LOL

I'm so tired of my friend's always saying "I've got not problem with gay people , my friends are gay!"

I just say "I've got no problem with gay people. They're people too." Or just the first line. I basically try not to sound like a prick.

Yeah a lot of shit pisses me off. I don't know if gay people find it offensive but I don't like people calling gay people 'gays'. It just pisses me off for some reason. Is that stupid? It's like so derogatory just because of their sexuality. Straight people are straight people or they're straight but gay people are Gays or Fags. Is that just me? x)X

I don't know anyone who actually hates it, but I know what you mean. When I think about, it does sound like a somewhat dehumanizing and very alienating way to refer to people. Because, seriously, how hard is it to just say "gay people" instead of "gays"?

Yeah seriously. People here are so bad about it to. They even verbalize it badly, fully admitting they hate gay people.

WTFs up with stuff man. I swear, I love reading your posts because it makes me happy to hear some pro-gay things rather than LOL IT'S BAD. All. The. Time. So thanks a lot Ernie :)

Yay, I'm glad you like reading my posts. :) That's the thing that I love about livejournal; I can talk to people who actually get this sort of stuff without being treated like I'm an oversensitive ninny when I point these things out. I'm sorry you're surrounded by homophobic bigots. :(
