Re: The Use of Gay
The Use of Gay (Instead of doing maths hw, i'm writing this blogpost) | Atila's Student Blog
The point of this blogpost (other than to distract myself from maths hw) is that I'm not sure how I should react when people use the word gay in a negative connotation or react negatively. I'm not so sure that I should react so apathetically anymore.
I mostly choose not to police other peoples' language or call people out unless they're being egregious or being nasty about another person.
It depends on the day. It depends on my mood. It depends on the situation and who I'm talking to.
It's quite uncomfortable sometimes to be telling people that their normal way of speaking is offensive.
We don't always have to fight the fight. Sometimes we can just be queer and let the world be as it is, bigoted or not.
(sometimes we do gotta fight the fight though, and hopefully we have allies in our life who'll do that too.)
