I traveled a quite bit in the US and found it incredibly annoying how many people use "gay" as a derogatory word, even people in their 30s- 40s and up. I immediately lose all desire to continue a conversation with such people after they spew that out. People see a person wearing a piece of clothing they don't like and they go "OMGSZX that's so gay", or they hear a song and say the same.
If you want to call something lame, just call it lame, because otherwise this epitome of ignorance bleeds down into children who subconsciously get a negative view on being "gay", even though they can't explain why. Unless their parents are christians, then they start talking about the bible and how "gahd said so". Otherwise they just sit there dumbfounded when you ask them to explain why being gay is a negative thing. This is one of the numerous tactics of the Yehuborim media to create sexual hangups for people. They brainwash people into perpetuating their own vicious cycle.
