Comments on: TEEN ANTI-GAY LANGUAGE CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED https://www.mambaonline.com/2008/10/13/teen-anti-gay-language-campaign-launched/ South Africa's leading LGBTQ news and community platform Mon, 13 Oct 2008 22:00:00 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Martin https://www.mambaonline.com/2008/10/13/teen-anti-gay-language-campaign-launched/#comment-7593 Tue, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.mambaonline.com/2008/10/13/teen-anti-gay-language-campaign-launched/#comment-7593 Why all the fuss!?. All my friends, and most of them are gay/lesbian, use this kind of language without meaning to offend anyone. Why try to wipe out these expressions/words from our conversation? It depends on the tone and context in which we use words such as ‘faggot’, ‘moffie’, etc. I really din’t mind being called any of those words, as long as it isn’t intended as an insult.

You’re so gay, you don’t even know when you’re being disparaged. But that is exactly the point. It IS insulting when the word “gay” is used to descibe anything considered weak, inferior or indesirable. Not downing 20 shots in one sitting isn’t gay. It’s being a chicken. The only time when an action should be labled as gay should be if it involves two men, KY and possibly latex gloves.

My sexuality shouldn’t be a slur.
