Seriously folks, the whole gay thing is gettin kinda lame... For those of us who are gay, the word fag really is less than desireable and to see you guys contantly making jokes trvializing who I and many other people are, really is hurtful too. The occassional joke in passing isn't much, and I usually don't say anything, but this time, fagformers... I mean, come on, don't come on a message board and start using gay people or gay culture for laughs. Keep that in the privacy of your own home and away from people who might you might actually offend....Ask yourself this, would you come on here and start a thread called nig*erformers??? Probably not, so even though you might not like our lifestyle, or think it's a joke, watch what you say. |
I am going to step in here right now and defend Matt's point. He is right. We would get offended too if it was something that was in our lifestyle that we are proud of. It's cool to make a few jokes here and there. but not like this. be a little bit more tactful.

The way I see it, Matt, we ALL (including you) occasionally joke about , don't we? Have you never told a black joke or a jewish joke? Wouldn't a black person or a jew be offended if one was standing next to you? We all do things that could potentially offend people but honestly, I can't think of a single joke out there that would offend me personally. Not a single one. I know a lot of jokes are out of line and uncalled for but you can't take it personally. Nobody has mentioned your name in this forum. If that was the case, I could understand why you would be upset but sometimes is funny and we do it just for the sake of comedy and that is a noble cause. |
it's cool to make jokes. but not when someone says it hurts :( |
