thats so gay-myspace bulletion addition

Thats so Gay!

I just read a bulletin that asks its readers to add on to the list of things that are "gay." I scanned the long list.which ended up with 113 entries , but only about 7 items were subjects that could remotely be described as gay. They might not be sexually gay, but it is at least conceivable that they might be called "so gay".

#1. Backstreet Boys & #25. NSYNC- Boy bands as a rule are acceptable targets of thats so gay slinging.

#2. High School Musical- I love me some High School Musical, which in and of itself could qualify it as fitting on the list, but the fact is that any musical could be called gay and I would accept it.

#28. fags- its not very nice, depending on the intent of the author, but I'm going to allow it. "fags" are gay.

#36. Ryan Seacrest-Although he is technically probably a metrosexual, it is still an acceptable entry on a dismally ungay list.

#117. two guys making out- an old standby.

Over half of the entry s were different people's names. As in "my brother is gay" or "My English teacher". Hilarious.

A majority of items weren't gay in any way I could find, and I have pretty good gaydar. How could this be you ask? Well sadly, it is further proof that kids today aren't using the word correctly. They use gay interchangeably with stupid or bad, like in the following examples.
10. Backstabers,
16. FAKE AND TWO FACE`d HOES!
46. Breakups
89. Being Dumped = GAYY!.. Trying ta move on = GAYYER!.

All I'm saying is you can use the word as a dis if you want, but it doesn't mean anything if you don't use it more selectively. Here are a few more examples. Watch as I discern whether they belong in the list of approved gay things.

3. school- acceptable if your going to a gay high school, as in a high school for gays. Your school is also gay if is a preforming arts school, like from Fame. Man was that movie gay. If your school is starting to have funny new feelings for another school of the same sex.
(Sulu is so gay...)

11. Snobby preps- This one might work. If they are Amberzombie's then yes, you can use the adjective gay. Also if your a boy and the snobby prep in question is also a boy and every time you turn around his mouth is on your dick.

12. Summer school- Is it a singing and dancing summer school? Is Cher your remedial English teacher? Do they play dance music in between classes? Then it's not gay.

18. Broken elevators!- What the fuck does that have to do with being a flaming queen?

20. Max && Kyle. lmao jk homeworkk...eww.- you thought that was laughing my ass off funny? Really? You might be a douche bag, but a straight douche bag.

21.necrofeliacs- If the poor illiterate soul was referring to super pervs who like to put on some Barry White, open a bottle of wine and put their warm human bits inside cold dead corpses...then thats about as gay as people who like to get thrown up on is heterosexual.

26. Detention- only if you got detention by giving a member of the same sex fellatio.

27. Work over summer- Sure. But only if your working in a hair salon, at a gay bar or on a gay porn set.



42. prank callers- Do your prank callers often judge you by the labels you wear? Do they offer biting comments about the visual presentation of your last get together? Do they sing show tunes unprovoked? Yep, then your prank caller is gay.


47.Yu-gi-oh cards- Like the one where Yu-gi-oh takes it from behind by his leather daddy.

48.haters. Do they hate clothes shopping at Wall Mart? Are they hating on PE middle school memories or SuperCut's? Sure your hater is probably gay.

49.Making Eggs:))- what do they make the eggs do? Preform scenes from Les Mis. Do you make them watch such camp classics as "Whatever Happened To Baby Jane" for their own good?

63. bermuda shorts-definitely NOT gay.

65. people who steal stuff. >people who steal the cherries of other people with the same sexual equipment as themselves. Yes.People who steal copies of "Another Gay Movie" or other gay movies. Probably. People who steal from Payless Shoes, I doubt it.

66. over protective parents. Are they overprotective of their fag hags?

77.George bush- We aren't taking him. Oh no...he is absolutely not so gay.

85. No Phone-think about that one smarty. When I get used to not having a phone I feel the most un gay. My people like to communicate, so not having your phone is also not gay.

92. Girls that lead you on- Do they usually go back to eating pussy after leading you on?

93. Needle dicks-If you go away from this lesson knowing only 1 thing, its that most of us gays are what you call size queens. At least more likely to be into big ones than ..what was that charming phrase...needle dicks.

101.Wiggers (you can like the music,don't act the culture!)- Nice. Extra points for being racist as well as homophobic.

103.NERDY KIDS- I'm sure a few of em are.

104. when they promise they love you but lie- Did they promise to learn you some grammar too? Did they say anything about teaching you self respect?

107.citrus airspray- cuz nothing says I like to eat other boys asses like the smell of a Florida Orange Grove.

Not only does calling everything you don't like gay make you seem a bit homophobic(a big red flag that the homophobe in question belongs on this list) but it takes any real meaning out of the word gay. At least any meaning that actually describes something. Next time thing about some of the gay stereotypes you know and start from there.

- Is my boyfriend dating Don Imus?
Current mood: cynical

Controversy Will Robinson...Controversy!!

My boyfriend thinks that I am some kind of Archie Bunker racist, homophobic fascist bastard. He honestly believes it. Why would my gay part Native American partner think such things? Probably because of all the racist homophobic remarks I always make would be my guess.

Whoa Nelly! Before you start commenting on that last comment give me a chance to explain myself. OK? cool.

Where to start? First, I'm not some uneducated, white supremacist cross burner. Growing up I was a liberal hippy worshiping wanna be who couldn't get enough of the crazy KKK and skinheads regularly featured on Oprah, Donahue and Geraldo. I would get on my soap box and yell at those wacko's through my TV screen. When Geraldo got his nose broke by the chair wielding neo nazi I just about pissed myself I was so worked up. I hated racism and wanted to stamp it out of existance. In high school when the family made Christmas Cookies I made sure there was a African American Santa, a Latina Angel and a Jewish Canadian Reindeer which would cause my Mom to exclaim "James, Sometimes you just take things too far."

After graduation in order to prove my color blindness I pretty much started having sex with every black guy that came onto me. I even accepted a ride from a 6'5" black Jamaican who coaxed me into his car late at night as I walked home from work by pretending to have met me at "that party last week. Remember?" It didn't end as bad as you think it did..but I also don't hold the experience close to my heart as a wonderful sexual learning experience from my nubile teens. I digress...most of my post high school experiences in Austin Tx( where I discovered what real undisguised racism looked like) just strengthened my resolve to fight bigotry.
I'm also not lacking proper education. I got my BS in Sociology where Racism and the social institutions that perpetuate it were a main focus (when I wasn't taking classes about sex that is).
Fairness, human rights and equality are among the most important ideals as far as I'm concerned. Nothing gets me more passionately riled up than when something strikes me as unfair. I get so mad I could just spit. and kick. and spit some more.
So why does the person who is supposed to be closest to me think of me as a racist? Maybe it's because I've encouraged him to think that a little. Maybe it's because of my sense of humor which counts the comedic styling of Sarah Silverman as pure fucking comedic gold. She's funny. She's blunt. She's honest. She says some fucking un PC jokes for damn sure. But I'm no Sarah Silverman and maybe my version of her humor isn't as funny.

Maybe because of all the years I've worked customer service I really am a little bit prejuduced. Working with people makes you a tad cynical now and then. And sometimes you form opions about how certain "cultures" act. But I don't limit my observations to Lation's or Russians or Blacks. I think white people, and gay people and rich people and poor people basically work my last nerve sometime. It's a cliche but I am an equal opprutunity hater. The only group I could never be accused of talking mad shit about is women. well..stright women...I could tell you some shit about lesbians! (that was a joke)
.
That just made it sound like I hate people and I can't stand my customers. Thats not true. I enjoy 95% of the customers I'm serving. (maybe)Customer Service is just a great way to observe a wide cross section of the public. And I've realized we aren't all the same. Colorblindness is retarded. We are all the product of our subcultures in some ways.
Alas, this blog is becoming a freakin' Tolstoy novel. And it is unfocused, unstructured and rambling. And worst of all I think it may be making me sound kinda poor,white sheet wearing, southerner circa 1956 (and that was an awfully fucking mean way to lump all southerners together). But consider it a cliffhanger ending. I will leave you with some unanswered questions that may get answered next. Is he advocating racism? Who does he hate most? What makes him so bitter? Why do I care what a obsessive compulsive gay part native american who was raised by white christians have to say anyway. Why doesn't he just shut up?
OK..I am shutting up...in one sec. this whole blog began because I was writing a cool survey that got into some stuff about stereotypes and I wanted to lay some ground work. So I blogged about the stereotypes that I fit and the ones I don't. But I had to write this one first...so .....it has become a damn monster. (ok..how do I wrap this shit up?). But the real monster is the result of racism being driven underground where it festers in silence for fear of sounding...well a little racist.
