The answer you seek is not simple – words and their meanings are constantly evolving – but anyone with an ordinary intellect can easily discover it with just a few moments’ online study. May I suggest that your anger would be relieved and your time better spent in such study than in public displays of ignorance.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11708408421201062961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8501785094005395495.post-86153626791191414972008-11-11T06:17:00.000-08:002008-11-11T06:17:00.000-08:00I'd like to know when the homosexual community got...I'd like to know when the homosexual community got to own the right to the word "gay".<BR/>Lyrics are a form of expression.

There are songs titles ripped straight out of <I>1984</I> and they're applying the commanding lyrics to modern times...but its clear they're using those words to say that kinda shit isn't okay. with perry that isn't the case. there's no sign that she is using bashing language to tell others that it isn't okay, she's simply enforcing the idea that calling someone "gay" to mean "stupid" is okay, which is what I have a problem with.esreverniuoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17219921942892356803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8501785094005395495.post-69390743108610609142008-07-29T16:54:00.000-07:002008-07-29T16:54:00.000-07:00are you suggesting that if radiohead threw in some...are you suggesting that if radiohead threw in some ironic homosexual-suggestive humor, it would be more okay? not everyone needs cultural leeway to put out semi-offensive music. i think you're giving her too much credit by being so offended.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
