That's Gay

[Sliding Bolt 4,358]

I say let the kids joke. You know to them it only makes the joke funnier if you get upset over it. Kids are kids, jokes are jokes. Anything you try and do to stop it will only make it worse for you and more enjoyable for them. Besides 90% of the the time it’s used, it makes no sense at all so oh well. I don’t like to get offended over much of anything especially jokes. I’m not saying I condone the use of the phrase but there’s nothing we can do about it so just take it with a grain of salt. They’ll grow out of it soon enough.

I use "that's gay" usually only when I'm bitching about work. I don't really use it outside of that, except when I'm pointing out something that is actually homosexual. Generally I have more colorful insults for things outside of the scope of work.

I usually prefer more colorful and more mature insults than that.

I think its pretty harmless to be fair but then again I hear it so often at school maybe im decensortised x3

Well as someone who's LGBT I can say that it really doesn't bother me maybe I'm just desensitized to it. Though really it all depends on the context, I believe usually in the given context there are no reasons to get upset by it.

It all depends on the context as to whether or not I’d be upset by it or just not care.

Seconding this, it all depends to its context.

I feel it's pretty much slang- to one's liking. As long they're not using it or saying it to discriminate. But think it's self- explanatory to tell difference between using it as a "joke/slang" and as an "insult".

Most of my friends are part of LGBT and they always use that as a slang or as joke. I also do the same with them like calling them "gay" or " that's gay".   I think it's funny that even though I'm the only straight in the group, they would call me the gayest
