(big time BARF ALERT!)
When I was a little kid, I used to hear my brothers, cousins, and friends say things like “That’s so gay!” on a pretty regular basis. I would usually laugh along, hoping with all my might that they didn’t know my secret. My parents and other adults in my life would tell me things like “Boys don’t cry” or “Be a man!” which essentially was their way of telling me that being emotional was forbidden or a sign of weakness.
When I was a teenager, there were a few boys at my high school who ridiculed me, almost everyday. When I walked by them in the halls, they called me a “faggot” or screamed my name in a flamboyant tone. I learned to walk by without showing any reaction; I could not let them know that it bothered me, or else I would be proving to them that I was indeed gay. I didn’t tell anyone about the bullying (not my parents, teachers, or anyone) because admitting that I was being teased for being gay would mean that I was admitting to being gay. I had never felt so alone in my life.
In college, it got a little better. While I was no longer harassed about my closeted sexual orientation, I didn’t have any friends that were openly gay and most of my friends didn’t have any either. Some of my friends and family members still made occasional homophobic jokes in front of me. While many loved ones later told me that they suspected that I was gay, no one gave me any reason to believe that they were gay-friendly.

Microaggressions causing micro-offenses to microminds?
Gay used to mean merry, cheerful, etc. as in “gap apparel” from the Christmas song or “We had a gay time at the picnic”.
They put a new meaning to the word. Since they put a new meaning to the word, I don’t agree that they have a legitimate complaint if others do so too.
Would it be ok be okay if I used a stick from my burning faggot to light a fag while think about it?
I’ve never cared for the word gay used to describe queers. There is certainly nothing gay about their lifestyle. In fact, I’d say the heterosexual lifestyle is gay compared to the queers. So instead I say, “That’s so queer.”
Know what, author of article? You don’t own the word gay. Or queer. Or fag, which is a cigarette, or faggot, which is a stick intended for burning. When you go to an English pub and see faggots and peas or faggots with onion gravy it is not a gangbang with vegetables or sauces it’s pub food. In James Fenimore Cooper stories, a group of men sitting around flaming faggots were cooking.
Making words magic or charmed is evil and will bite you.
Use the term themselves yet have a hissy when someone uses the same term.
Nothing more than hypocrites.
Talk about ‘queering the profession’ (psychology)...
Your question is microaggression. You must stop this at once!
Maybe he’d relax if he’d smoke a fag.
Leftism and poofery are so gay.
“I refuse to call it gay. I refer to it as homosexuality, “
Nah, I am not as pc as you. I go for the jugular “faggot”..
Mental Illness Alert
Remember when “blowing a tranny” meant serious car trouble at a drag race?
Uh oh. Now Piers Morgan, on top of his cratering ratings problems at CNN, has the homos slamming him for being “transphobic” (whatever that means). This is getting confusing, so many new words.
“they were essentially telling me that they expected me to be heterosexual”
I guess I shouldn’t invite anyone to a barbecue because who knows, they might be allergic to hotdogs and I wouldn’t want to offend them by assuming they aren’t. And I definitely should not ask anyone if they can come pick me up over the phone, since they could be quadriplegic.
“many studies have found that the more that people experience microaggressions, the more likely they are to report symptoms of depression, psychological distress, and even physical health issues”
And now for the corrected version....
“many studies have found that the more that people engage in homosexual behavior, the more likely they are to report symptoms of depression, psychological distress, and even more likely, physical health issues”
There we go. Fixed. At least the author didn’t forget to give a special victimhood shoutout to the trannies and bisexuals. Too often are they considered the turds in the homosexual punch bowl. Then again, that’s probably some weird plus in the ‘community’.
I’m questioning the sanity of the other letters.
This kind of thinking is the result of macrogenital psychosis.
