Yes, it's rude and annoying!

Yep, I'm slowly training my friends out of it

Yeah, I'm really not a fan of this. I've had a couple of friends do this a lot, but I think they're finally getting that it's kind of uncool. I actually haven't heard anyone doing it lately. Maybe that whole thing is on its way out.

God, I've hated this term-use for the past 10+ years. >_<
07/12/2012
I'm ready to dodge stones and tomatoes!
I occasionally use it, but I do among my friends who know me well (and know I have Guncles and a gay Bro). They know it's not meant to be derogatory and even my gay friends use it. I guess it's our own little micro-culture. We're not PC for almost any group when we're together. So it's all archie-bunker-esque debauchery.
I won't in public since I don't know people there, though.

Yeah, I get unsettled by it. My friends I can't control, but my family is being trained out of it.

I find it really rude, but I don't generally make a big deal of it if someone says it unless they're friends or family.
My mother has learned not to use it though, every time she'd use it I would repeat that PSA Wanda Sykes did about using gay as a derogatory term.

Gay = Homophobic
Lame = Ableist.

I used to say it a lot when I was a kid because when we were in school in the 90's most kids said it. I've had to train my brain to NOT say it because I know it's not right. I'm also used to saying, "oh my god!" and I'm not even religious. It's just a bad habit that's hard to break. I probably say lots of other things too I picked up in school that I need to unlearn. lol.

I also am like Mwar, and I am bisexual so it's definitely not in disrespect, but I agree people are just too sensitive I feel.

It's a good way to get 'the look' which is usually enough to make people around me stop and think twice.

Yes I hate it and it is so rude and just disrespectful
