Gay

[Turkish]

Does this word offend you?

 

It does the FA they have just fined Liverpools Suso £10k for tweeting 'this guy is gay' at his mate Enrique who has just had his teeth whitened.

 

Isn't this just banter between mates? WTF is this country coming to.

 

Even Enrique used twitter to say 'it is amazing the FA can fine my friend for a banter thing'

well are you happy ?

 

 

or are you gay ?

 

 

both could mean the same thing or completely different as per the other threads what offends whom

its a word that has multiple meanings and if he wasn't clever enough to weasel out of what he actually meant he is a dumb clint

[trousers]

I'm not sure I see the connection between whitening one's teeth and being gay. For that reason, I'm out (so to speak)...

[Dig Dig]

Isn't it a compliment? Obviously Enrique looks better with whiter teeth so his mate was just asking if he was gay on the basis that he's better groomed. I know not every gay person is well groomed and it's a stereotype but not necessarily a negative one I would say.

Dear Turks,

 

I used to be an average guy, one of the lads, with typical browny-yellow teeth of a 40-year smoker. But since I quit smoking I've noticed my teeth are turning white. Should I be worried?

[Tokyo-Saint]

I'm not offended but I think some people might and therefore due to the new 'anything that might offend anyone ever' rule, I am offended. In fact I am offended you even asked Turkish. You are such a nutter sometimes! A big bumming dumb nutter! Such a laugh, you crack me up with your mental, loony posts.

[PhilippineSaint]

it appears all threads are ending with "offended from Lordshill!"

 

 

would this forum please man up and say F U to the PC brigade we don't want or need you to police us.

[Turkish]

I'm sure people like Egg will be applauding the FA for this action.

[Dig Dig]

On reflection I am offended by the word Gay. It implies that homosexual people are happier than hetrosexual people and IMO also implies that hetrosexual people are not capable of being happy. I am outraged and will be writing to my MP to suggest that this word isn't used to describe any persons sexual orientation.

I find that very offensive. Brigade goes back to the unionist occupation of Ireland, the black and tan making my ancestors black and blue (some may have been tanned as well depending on the weather). Please refrain from using the word in future. Oh, also don't say appears as I had a bad experience with a magician trying to cut me in half before.

Corrected it for you

[Tokyo-Saint]

I am offended at being corrected and offended it took me 3 mins of playing spot the difference to find it.

[PhilippineSaint]

well did they?

[Hatch]

What if it turned out Enrique was gay?

 

Would he get the money back?

[Tokyo-Saint]

well did they?

 

A little but it doesn't make it any less offensive.

[PhilippineSaint]

And some i reckon interest on the initial sum and then the hardship of having to be called a homophobe could be worth millions.

[scotty]

Turks would find it much easier to come out of the closet if his wardrobe wasn't so FABULOUS!!

It's an easy mistake. They do say the most stylish blokes the gay so i would forgive people for making that mistake with me.

[Jonnyboy]

I cringe when people use "gay" to mean bad. Its a rather pathetic use of language.

[Essruu]

I agree. 'Bent' is far better.

[Matty's Caddy]

Not a day goes by at work without me calling my workmates a gay, homo, faggot etc.... Standard banter I think you'll find.

All the offendees ought to spend a bit of time in an industrial workplace, show any emotion in there and you get crucified. Great fun.

F()ck all you PC w@nkers

[View From The Top]

My boss is called Gay.

[Orange]

FA lining their own pockets again, shock.

[egg]

I'm sure people like Egg will be applauding the FA for this action.

 

I've just discovered the urban dictionary. My new years resolution will be to be consider the wider meaning of words. Until then I will be very distressed on behalf of all gays.

The correct term is homosexuals

Cheers Tokyo, I'm distressed for them too.

[Polaroid Saint]

It is NOT offensive to spell the word in this manner; 'Ghey' .

If Suso had spelt the word like this he would not have been fined. La.

[Barry Sanchez]

My favourite saying is big fat gayer, now I am sure this is not cool with the sandal wearers from Surrey but hey ho.

don't ask don't tell policy ? or just not acceptable.

[Thedelldays]

don't ask don't tell policy ? or just not acceptable.

I had to sign a declaration to confirm i was not homosexual and that if i found to be I would be up for immediate discharge..

im sure the dont ask dont tell policy was unofficially used....it all changed in 2001

FA have a Xmas party to pay for or something ?

 

Suppose I'd put up with a minor restriction on my freedom of speech for the sake of £50k a week.

 

As for the use of "gay", I'm beyond bored debating it, but do people with a limp feel the same about the derogatory use of "lame" ?

[The9]

My favourite saying is big fat gayer, now I am sure this is not cool with the sandal wearers from Surrey but hey ho.

 

Who are you calling a ho ?

[dubai_phil]

I cannot believe this thread reached 41 posts without noticing that Trousers "Outed" himself in post # 3.

 

Pretty momentus occassion for TSW that revelation

[Joey-deacons-left-nut]

Which is ironic considering a submarine is a massive phallus full of seamen......

Because I don't let a constant stream of homophobic ignorance stream from my mouth all day I must be boring and work in an office! Please. What a low life you must be.
