However, changing the spelling of the word doesn't change how offensive it can still be to homosexuals. Person1: That's ghey! Person2: Dude, don't use that word. Person1: But I'm spelling it g-h-e-y. Person2: Dude, that doesn't matter, it's still offensive. Person1: Well, that's ghey! Person2 thwacks Person1 your jokes are ghey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 QUOTE(Mercy! @ Nov 16, 2005 -> 01:40 AM) This is a certified ghey-only thread. Please, no lame wannabes or other trouble makers comin’ around talkin’ smack. You say you didn’t know Ms Julie is a lesbian and gay icon? Then clearly you’ve breached the ghey-only perimeter fence on false pretenses. But speaking from the distaff side, I can swear she is. And it’s a little bit more than a Bea Arthur kind of thing, if you catch my drift, girlfriends. So my hat’s off to you, Mr. Mayor. Blake Edwards is a cover? Didnt know that.

Kyyle23 Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 I can accept if she were gay, its not a big deal. i just dont like when people in the public eye are labeled as being gay just because they dont have an obvious spouse, or because of their appearance, or just because the gay community appreciates their work. See Hilary Clinton, Oprah, Diane Keaton. And I especially dont like when someone says "You may not think So and So is gay, but trust me she is. I know." I had a health class elective in my sophomore year of college, and a few members of the Gay, Lesbian and Bi club came to speak to us. It became a popularity contest based on who was gay and who wasnt, these people were actively trying to "recruit" people by listing off as many stars as they could in which there was doubt concerning their sexuality. It really bothered me. I guess Mercy's opening statement struck me in the same way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My interpretation (admittedly as one who didn't make the team call-up) was that Mercy was merely stating that from the female (= distaff) viewpoint in the gay community, Julie Andrews is near God-like, while poor Bea is, well... not.

JUGGERNAUT Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Her role in the Sound of Music is legendary as the film is shown yearly & still remains a big event. She should be honored for that. Having seen Chicken Little with my kids, the Pig is gay. They don't know that, but I do. Why? Because I've heard the Streisand reference so many times that's the first thing that comes to mind. But to this day I still don't understand the connection! What if you are straight & happen to like some of her movies & her albums? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
