Is it homophobic to call something gay?

honkey i'm guessing

I think he is referring to the shortened form of the word Hebrew as a derogatory slang for Jewish folk.

Patrick Burke (president of You Can Play, which promotes acceptance in sports) calls it "casual homophobia."

I read something great about the Native American names used for sports teams recently that I thought was great, and included varied opinions from Native American readers, but I can't for the life of me find it. But, at the very least, the name "Redskins" seems awful to me.

Also, I :heart: ITK.

I mean, St Johns lost the name "redmen" to be PC and that wasn't even about Injuns while fuckstick cancer boy and the asshats don't even recognize the offense of "redskins"

so did boogity actually go to wake? did he get in on the strength of his native american background because the dude's a moron?

I've noticed you guys have a lot of morons.

Yes, in fact, it's a term so offensive and hateful that there is by-jews-for-jews magazine that shares its title.

[deacphan]

as a person that's 1/16th native american your use of "the tribe" greatly offends me.

He's right though.

 

[davejuice]

Your inability to recognize that the privilege IS recognized is super fucking gay.

My comment wasn't directed at you specifically, but since you saw yourself in it I'll respond. When I'm around my gay friends or black friends (or friends of any other ethnic or social group), I'm normally singing karaoke or playing basketball or watching sports or listening to music. Doing something actually fun, rather than talking about which words may or may not be offensive. But then again, talking about feelings may be your idea of fun. If so, more power to you.

Hmmm...
