Taken from there.
Brilliance.

I could hang about and burn my fingers
I've been hanging out here waiting for something to start
You think i'm faultless to a 't'
My manner set impeccably
But underneath i am the same as you

I could dance all night like i'm a soul boy
But i know i'd rather drag myself across the dance floor
I feel like dancing on my own
Where no one knows me, and where i
Can cause offence just by the way i look

And when i come to blows
When i am numbering my foes
Just hope that you are on my side my dear

But it's best to finish as it started
With my face head down just staring at the brown formica
It's safer not to look around
I can't hide my feelings from you now
There's too much love to go around these days

You say i've got another face
That's not a fault of mine these days
I'm honest, brutal and afraid of you

Hull is my university.


My spelling is bad.
I has dislecksia (also known as dyslexia).
I can't write properly, bad spelling, slow, messy, and I don't do joined up writing any more, I used to, but since I started using computers in exams and classes, I've not needed to, as a result, I've lost the ability to erm, yeah, do it.

And my beard is the source of my intelligence.

Gay:

Watch that episode of South Park about bikers.

The word "gay" existed before it meant homosexual, this is just a evolution of it though it may have begun as a homophobic slur.

I know gay guys who call things gay and if anything laugh if someone calls it.

I have a bi friend who calls things gay all the time.

Yes.
It just so happens that all words meaning gay with the exception of homosexual are negative.
Homo. Fag. Queer. Nancy boy. And of course the word in question, gay.

They are all very often used as insults.
Do people us the following terms as insults on a regular basis?
Man.
White.
Straight.

Not really. Very rarely and in very specific circumstances perhaps.
But in the vast majority of contexts it's okay to use 'gay' as an insult. As if there's something wrong with being gay.

People talk about it having a dual definition, but that's not nearly the whole story. Things that have been seen as gay are then said to be bad, negative, perhaps simply abnormal. But never positive (even though the original use of the word was of course, happy). And it sends the message that being homosexual is negative. Because that's what society has done and keeps doing. It reclaims words that mean homosexual to mean something bad.

And the only way one can logically look at that is internalised homophobia.

Edit: And "no-homo" is one of the most obnoxious examples idiocy I've ever seen.

Edit:

It doesn't make it any more okay to refer to things as 'gay' in a negative way just because you're gay yourself or bisexual.

Great point, having a black friend doesn't stop someone from being racist."


Which is exactly why you should stop using the word negatively.
