*checks profile* Right country... :P

But yeah, I'm single. Every person who's expressed serious interest in me is... rather young. 17's the oldest yet, and well... there are some legal ramifications in this state there... (And no, I don't plan on going back to Facebook...)

are you single?

After reading this posting, I really wondered what actual gays think about that statement.

Unfortunately nobody replied to that posting, so I'm quoting it, hoping somebody will do so now. :)

Because I've heard that a few times, but personally I think it's a silly argument. While its probably true that many people nowadays use the word "gay" simply as a synonym for "stupid", I don't think that means that it's not offensive to gays. I actually think that makes it even more offensive, because everyone knows the term refers to homosexuality. I think by using the word gay as a synonym for pretty much every negative word, people implicitely state "homosexuality=bad/evil", and in my opinion that makes it a perfect example of homoPHOBIA.

And thinking that if a gay feels offended by using the term in that way only shows that this person is easily offended is naive in my opinion. Imagine people were starting to use words like "american" or "jewish" as a synonym for "stupid" - I'm sure that americans/jews would never stop considering that offensive.

wtf weren't you engaged with damkira?

In general isn't homophobic defined as being afraid or having a deep contempt for gays?

He only mentioned he can't 'deal with them' which I would take to simply mean they annoy him.

well dunno you have to show pics of yourself for people to be interested.. I mean nobody is going to beocme interested if a person hides behind the avatar!
