Good Will (Gay) Hunting

46. I am a born and bred Bostonian.

The fact that this is in any way a big deal is wicked gay. Get over it.

47. Stop hijacking the English language. We need to use our words, our language. Too bad if special subgroups want to claim those words for their own use and not allow anyone else to use them. Tough. Arrest us all, why don't you?

Gay was a perfectly fine word until homosexicals hijacked it. Disgusted.

48. Well why is it ok to say "So Gay" (which I say too) but not ok to say "N word" (which I don't say)

I pose this question to myself as much as any one I guess because I will say one and wont say the other.

49. People are so amazing. We pry into the lives of these people (celebs) and when they tell us the truth, we get all pissed! Whatever happend to free speech???? Overweight people are offended byt the word 'fat' - Underweights are offended by 'skinny' - Those with no butt are offended by 'flat ass' or 'gone ass'... It doesn't matter who is doing the talking, some-damn-body is gonna get offended. I am offended that this was even brought up. I used to call my brother gay when we were young - and yes, I meant it in a bad way! It's like TV - If you don't like what's on, turn the channel - If you don't like what I say, DO NOT LISTEN! If you don't like TMZ - go somewhere else.

50. ok, i am sick of hearing from christians that homosexuality is a sin.
first, i welcome you to read corinthians i in its entirety rather than taking things like 6:9-10 out of context, because you'll notice that paul frowns upon any expression of sexuality resulting from lust in general. this includes people doing it within the so-called loving confines of marriage are committing a sin if they bang as a direct result of lust. you want to call homosexuality a sin? go for it. but paul seems to think heterosexual sex - unless done in the complete absence of lust, and in fact, done to prevent any feelings of lust, and within marriage - is a big no-no, too, so feel free to call out heterosexuality too. +

51. The way he uses it has no 'real' meaning to anything. It is common Boston vernacular to use 'gay' to describe things. So stop being a 'wicked retard' and reading between the lines. He's from Cambridge - facristsakes - the most 'alternative' neighborhood in the Boston Area. Der, my comment was wicked gay.

52. something else i want to point out . all you people who have such problems with the use of gay, i will gladly stop using 'gay' as an metaphorical adjective if you will stop using the words gyp, lame and dumb.
they're only words, people, but if you're going to make such a big freaking deal over this word, you better make a big freaking deal over all un-pc words.

56. Oh my gosh - it is so 'gay' to even bother with this! Give me a break. We used to use this word in high school all of the time. Same thing as the word 'cheesy'...is that bad too?!

57. Don't be fooled--the two of them are as gay as geese.Nothing wrong with that. It's the pretense that gets me. I had them both, and believe me, neither is a bargain--though at lest I was able to examine their wienies without a microscope--which is more than I can say for Tom Cruise, whose wienie looks like a misplaced pinkie. He must've used a turkey baster to get Katie pregnant--assuming he did in fact get her pregnant--which in itself is a heady assumption.

60. I don't think people realize that all of this "political correctness" is destroying the freedoms on which this country was based. This country supposedly allows free speech, and yet every year, there are more words added to the list of vocabulary we are not allowed to use... every day, I read a story about someone being offended by a word or phrase used by someone else.

There are many, many words in the English language which I find to be very offensive. However, I feel that every person has the right to use these words WHETHER I LIKE IT OR NOT. This country is slowly taking away our freedom of speech, and its the anal retentive, sensitive people WHO MUST HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO who are causing this to happen. Please stop making such a big deal out of every word that celebrities (or anyone else) say. It has gotten to the point where no one can say anything without someone having a problem with it.

Everyone - get with the program. The great thing about this country has always been the right to speak our minds. Whether I agree with what is said is irrelevant. The point is - WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO SAY IT.

Let me say it again. WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO SAY IT. Or at least we did.
