So,
I know many people who hate other people using gay when they mean lame. And believe it is derogatory.
My question is:
Do you think gay is a derogatory term? (i.e. that gay is referring to being homosexual, and thus relating homosexuals to people who are lame in context)
I'll go first:
I do not. And I don't think people who use gay in place of lame are trying to make that connection. I just think it has become a part of English vernacular.
Sure there might be those who are purposefully using this as derogatory against homosexuals, but I can't believe the majority do, and just because a small minority might why must it be so strictly politically incorrect. I just thinks it's making a big deal out of something so silly.
