what does the syaing "Its so gay" mean

[ChadCoxRox]

I think of it as ignorance which is not necessarily a bad thing until you have been informed that it is offensive..if you decide to continue using the term knowing it is offensive it becomes WILLFUL ignorance which is another thing entirely...

I have gone round and round trying to explain this phenomenon to people who say "Someone Jewed me down on a price".....I will initially consider that they may be ignorant to the insult they are using and when I point it out...if I hear them say it again then my opinion of who they are lessens as does my respect for them.

I agree and I think my kid does as well, but "they" still do it. She is careful not to do with me however and we've not even talked about it being specifically offensive to me personally. I take it as a sign of her exercising at least a little judgment! I wish the saying "that's so gay" referred to people demonstrating some cultural sensitivity and better judgment.
