I want to take a hot minute to hate on ThinkB4YouSpeak.com. In case you haven’t heard of this “we know better than you” organization, I’ll give you the ins and outs. Its run by theGay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) and basically they are preaching that people shouldn’t use the word gay as an adjective to describe something lame or stupid. To which I say, “Seriously?” To me, and I imagine a majority of other people, if something is gay it is gay. Some words have multiple meanings. The same way the lobby for bundles of sticks, twigs, or branches bound together aren’t up in arms about people calling homosexuals faggots. It’s understood that it means something else.

I think you mean, That's so gay.

Its slang and its stupid. Not stupid phresh, but stupid dumb. Stupid (dumb) kids have always made up new meanings for words to be cool. Ducky=Cool, Sick=Cool, Phat=Cool, Ill=Cool, Rad=Cool, Bad=Cool, Bad=Bad, Weak=Bad, Lame=Bad,  and an unending stream of other stupidity. It’s just how society is and always will be.

No one would say, “Thats so ‘gamer guy who has more videogames than friends,’” because it’s f*cking gay to say that. Gamers who have more video games than friends are gay, so just call them gay. No one is saying they are homosexuals. Its not homosexual to be a gamer or not have friends. It’s gay, which, as everyone but GLSEN knows, also means lame.

On top of that, the term “Gay” referring to homosexuals is slang itself. Gay started in the 50′s and was derogatory. Completely made up.

On top of all of this gayness, who in the F, is Hillary Duff to explain to ANYONE what they should or shouldn’t be doing. I mean, this is the plan of the ad agency to have us take this issue seriously? Like we are all going to be, “Oh Sh*t, Hillary Duff told us to “knock it off,” lets really consider it.” No, everyone with half a brain watched it and said, “That was so F*cking Gay.”

The one thing this ad campaign did sucessfully was draw out the use of the phrase, “That’s so gay.” They should have taken all of the money they spent on this ad campaign and did something that would really help the image of homosexuals. Like do a media blitz showing that not all gay people are as obnoxious and flamboyant as Perez Hilton, most are normal and cool and don’t have to affirm their sexuality out of context all the time.

Gay Lame and Gay Homo

A final piece of advice for the ad agency running this thing. If you really feel that this is the front you want to fight on, teenager’s slang and made up definitions for real words, there is a very simple solution to this pandemic. Encourage adults to say, “That’s so Gay” all the time. Kids HATE it when adults use thier slang as much as black people hate it when white people use thier slang. Consider that black people collectively stopped using the modifier “izzle” the exact moment white people cracked the code. Imagine Katie Couric on the nightly news, “Joe Biden, in what most pundits are describing as “completely gay,” seemed to indicate that he thought the Internet worked like a giant telephone, when he told viewers to check out a government-run Web site tracking stimulus spending, but admitted he was embarrassed because he couldn’t remember the site’s ‘number’.”  Would tank the phrase in minutes. I’m out this Bizzle.
