I know that the poem GCG posted was really offensive, I think its rude too...but you know, ALOT of kids in my class use the word "gay" very often. I don't use it, because I think some people are so immature, it doesn't really mean anything to me. There's this really really annoying girl that I know, and whenever someone says something she doesn't like or she gets mad at someone, she would say "You're SO GAY!" Its really annoying to me, really it is, but I know she probably just says the word and isn't referring really to the actual gay people.
So I guess using that word for anything only has to do with being childish. Just my opinion.
