So, it’s been about a month since I’ve written a blog. I just haven’t felt like writing lately. Although now, there is something on my mind that I feel I need to share. I don’t know if anyone has seen this, but there is a public service announcement out there that is anti “that’s so gay” (the phrase). Well  in this commercial Wanda Sykes, a comedian who happens to be a lesbien…big surprise there, but anyways the commercial takes place in a restuarant and there are four teenage boys just hanging out and one of them says “that’s so gay” and Wanda comes up to them telling them not to use that phrase if you think something is stupid, she then goes on to say “how would you like it if, I wanted to call this pepper shaker stupid, and I said that’s so 16 year old boy with a cheesy mustache.” She said it’s mean or something along those lines and tells them not to say it anymore and in in the end of the commercial it litteraly reads “knock it off”

So my point is, is this really that important??? Does the gay community not have enough to complain about? As a person who knows gay people and feel that they do deserve the same rights as everyone else, I feel that this is really stupid. I use this phrase and it’s not like I mean it as a derogatory statement. I also really don’t feel they need to waste money making these commercials, because all it has done is made me want to use the phrase more, because that commercial is fucking gay!!! I am pretty sure if there are people out there like me they will start using the phrase more just to spite the commerical makers.  So Gay community, find something else worthing bitching about. Thanks!
