I dont mind when people use the saying "Thats so gay." But just exactly what did she mean at the end of the commercial when she said "Knock it off!" Knock what off?!? Is she threatening me?!? Just exactly what is "it"? Thats soooo offensive! Im going to make a commercial about that evil saying and educate the world.

Your post is so gay.
:squint:How would you like it if I said that your post is so guy-who-runs-a-theology-site?

Yeah, that's about what I thought. Go ahead and cry. You'll get no sympathy from me.

If she claims to be gay (and she does), I can't imagine her objecting to being called gay. What's she going to say? Is it hate speech when you use it, but not when she uses it.

I think you're missing the point. We don't care if the dyke is offended.Think.
Public service announcement and Wanda Sykes and even gay or no aside... It's always amazing to me that someone would not recognize the difference between the two.
The commercial isn't about calling gay people gay. Is it?
Words simply mean different things in different contexts.
No, I wouldn't imagine she would would care about being called gay. And that's different than using the word gay as a demeaning term (no matter what one's opinion on homosexuality or comedic talent are).
Doesn't it depend on the context?
Calling a Christian a Christian is one thing. Even if it might be said with hatred, meant as derogatory, it's accurate. Referring to a pile of dung as a Christian means something else. Right?
Referring to learning impaired people as "Christian?" Different context.
I don't imagine a Christian would be offended by being called a Christian, even if it were said with hatred. But would most Christians be offended if someone referred to a pile of dung as Christian? Or if "Christian" was a commonly accepted and used slur? I think so.
I think what offends her and her ilk the most is that, despite all their efforts to make "gay" seem a wonderful thing to kids, they still began applying "gay" as a derogatory.
