Answer 2

You know, sir, with several wars going on around the planet, with heterosexual AIDS spreading like proverbial wildfire in Africa, with genocide taking place in Sudan, with thousands of little kids dying every week from disease or starvation in Africa and Asia, with a nuclear exchange on the horizon, with terrorists bombing civilian men, women, and children in Iraq, with a White House that doesn't give a good dang about the poor, the elderly, the disabled, the environment, clean water, clean air, New Orleans, the nation's highways, etc., etc., there are more important things on the plate than that gay Americans call themselves 'gay.' Anyway, in the late 19th century, the word 'gay' meant a prostitute, and in the 1920s it was first used, as an epithet, against homosexuals. As other recipients of hurtful words created by bigots have done, the word 'gay' was snatched away from the haters by the very ones who were their favorite targets. As I become Jewish whenever I encounter an anti-Semite, I become gay whenever I encounter an anti-gay bigot. People should be called what they want to be called.

Answer 3

So what? It's just a word. The definition of girl is a female under the age of 18 - do you think if we didn't allow women to be called girls then feminism would never have happened?

Answer 4

No, there would have been some other shorter word adopted because homosexual takes too long to say. And gays would still want rights.

Answer 5

if not 'gay'...what?, 'sad'?...a very strange question since homosexuality is simply another form of sexuality...it takes many forms you know, and homosexuality is one of the more reasonable ones compared to many....why doesn't someone get upset about bestiality or something worth being scrutinized and considered to be a 'problem'?!

Answer 6

WELL LETS SEE, ARENT HOMOSEXUALS....GAY?!?!?! >.< Most homosexuals are freaking HAPPY and CAREFREE! There you go. They are now, Gay. :P In the end the person who started this probably meant it as a joke, "Hey, did you realize most homosexuals.....are gay? Like...uber happy n such?!" AND THEN IT SPREAD! :D YAY GAY PEOPLE! A HAPPY WORLD! A GAY WORLD! YAY HAPPY!!!!! >.< beleive in the happy!

Answer 7

In the 'old days' I hear they called them "queers" and through them in jail for a few years. They had NO 'rights', so they generally hid in 'the closet'. Happy days (be gay), I mean.......er be gay, (Happy days).

Answer 8

I suppose you're supporting Florida's Mayor Potty Watch who's worried about gay sex in public potties, that's not really happening according to the cops?

Answer 9

Why can't it mean both? And what's your problem with Gays? The lack of acceptance and amount of ignorance in this country towards walks of life that they don't' understand is appalling and embarrassing.

Answer 10

Why does this subject take up so much of your time?
There is nothing wrong in being Gay.
Get over it.
Don't start screaming out lines from whatever bible you read.
Those lines need to be interpreted, not taken at face value.
Many things have changed since the bible was written.The bible is a living document . That means that it can be interpreted different ways as time goes on.

Answer 11

What problem. The only problems come from people who areagainst giving homosexuals their rights.
