That's so...um...er...disagreeable.

"When a few classmates razzed Rebekah Rice about her Mormon upbringing with questions such as, 'Do you have 10 moms?' she shot back: 'That's so gay.'"

Young Ms. Rice received a warning and a notation in her file.

No word on the fate of the "few classmates." I wonder if they were gay?

Dang. Now I did it.

Or did I?

Whoa. I'll testify that many kids - mine included - used "that's gay" as a generic phrase referring to something that is stupid, lame, pointless, etc. There is no homophobic connotation when they use it.

Gay??... GAY??...

Pah-leeeeze..
When will these folks ever stop...

In my generation, Gay meant "Happy".. as in "Happy & Gay"...

Should we, who coined the term in the first place, run all off to court to contest the use of this term??.. I think not.

If folks would quit taking things like this on the chin every time they turn around, this world would be a much better place.
