I'm sorry, but your world view is very outdated. It's cringe worthy.
It's like hearing my parents talk about 'the blackies' or as my Mum once said about a parade, 'it's nice that they get out sometimes'.
It's the underlying attitude that they're different somehow, that you don't really believe in equality, you're just doing it for show. Using gay as a jokey insult says that deep down you believe there's something wrong with being gay.
- gohrt 11y agoVenturing rather off-topic, but: young folks today learn the epithet "gay" as in "loser" separate from the homosexuality aspect. It's nearly a homonym now. Still, the potential for confusion is great enough that one should stop using the word "gay" to mean "loser".
- morganvachon 11y agoYoung folks today also use the word "n----r" in a similar way; are you okay with that extremely racist word becoming an everyday insult? In other words, just because a certain group does it, doesn't make it right.
- SmellyGeekBoy 11y agoYoung folks do a lot of things that wouldn't be seen as acceptable behaviour for a CEO. I get where you're coming from, though.
