I admire her understanding in the art of telling people to watch their mouths.
Rant: I totally agree with this, people should not be using such wretched (hold up is that how you spell it?) slurs to describe how "stupid" or "sucky" something might be. I'm also sick of the whole "No Homo" thing, I mean seriously it's not like you're going to switch sexualities all of a sudden... who the hell came up with that expression anyway????
You might as well say "That's so Straight". I mean no disrespect, I'm straight, but the people who are pulling the "You're Gay" "He's Gay" thing like no tomorrow, makes me think we should use straight as a word for "dumb" because that's what I'm getting out of this. How about I point this out: FIVE kids were bullied to DEATH over their sexualities. In 2010.
Think about THAT. *sigh* Kay sorry but just knock it off. This is basically the one thing of sheer ignorance I hear every day and I'm sick of it. I almost stood up in class when I heard a kid say it, and was going to say "Hold on let's the bigotry of that ignorant statement linger through the air." but it had already been breezed off because no one seems to care...
Just knock it off.

First, thanks for blogging about me (again; I should start doing that to you!).
ReplyDeleteSecond, I love the part where you said the thing about getting up in class and calling someone out on saying something is "gay". I'm going to make a promise to myself to do that no matter what (the calling someone out on it part).
Finally, it's nice to know that SOMEONE agrees with me :)
