(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.

While we are on this subject: Has anyone played a game called “Smear the Queer” during recess? It is sort of tag but you use a football. If you had the football all the other boys would chase you down and tackle you if you don’t give up the ball.
I thought the British call their cigarettes a “fag”. So would that be a microaggression
“now seeking your true orientation, or something like that”
you need to add...”and stuff”.
Cry me a river. Sick to death of hearing homosexuals whine about everything.
My gay friends used to use that term all the time.
I’m dialing it up/down to nanoaggression.
That is so sad. You know what makes me sad princess? People like you.
So the little faggot got called a name because he swished when he walked? Wooptefrickingdoo!
Perhaps he should have a nice cry and then go get some lumber, build a bridge and get over it!
Yikes! That is weird on so many levels.
I’ll stop saying ‘That’s so gay’ when I die, OK moron?
I’ll consider it only if the homos stop trying to force businesses to engage in commerce they don’t want to.
That’s so gay
OMG ! We’re victims of Cismale Gender-normative Fascism !!!
Probably should bring back...”that’s queer!” That should satisfy them.
... well, that’s why the “G” types are the first out of San Francisco after a disaster requiring evacuation. . .
. . . because they ALWAYS have their sh*t packed. . . .
Oh no! Not microaggression! Quick run around in circles...
I need a smoke. Anyone have a fag?
‘Microaggression’ is the new ‘Racist.’
It’s the latest progressive ‘word of power’ intended to shut down anyone and anything with which a progressive disagrees.
The wore the grooves out on the ‘racist’ record so this is their replacement broken record.
Ever notice how many weird, vaguely Maoist, psycho-babble-centric terms we hear these days?
MICRO-AGGRESSSION.
Kind of funny that all but two of his references were to his own works. How gay is that?!
He spends the whole article whining that people are being people. Act like a pervert and people will call you a pervert. Maybe, rather than complaining that people are calling him a pervert, he should just stop practicing perversion.
I wish the homos would end the homo-aggression. It bothers me so.
