No, not really.

laxlover, do a little bit of research. It might help.

@ luckster, Research would actually prove laxlover correct. Wile you can't chance your base orientation; sexual fluidity allows for the possibility of forming a relationship outside of the restrictions of your sexuality. Though of course "want" would usually come in form of "love" but can come in the form of material goods, e.g., young hot golddiggers who marry those decrepit old men. But of course, that is beyond rare. The usual form would be "I am only 'gay' for you" or 'straight' if the person was gay. It's impossible to decide to be one way or another but if the right circumstances present them self its very possible to pursue a relationship with a sex that gos ageist your base sexuality. I've herd or seen it my self about 4 times.

Haha. I noticed that too!

You must use the N word a lot too if that's your mindset.

@39 - I agree with you that 'fruitcake' is probably not a highly offensive term to most people. but, your gay friends don't speak for the entire community. using the word 'gay' to describe things that are stupid is not in any way the same thing. apples and orange, mate.

Oh, yes, I must use all of the derogatory slang imaginable because it's there for me to use. If you've noticed, many people of African-American descent use the "N" word in casual conversation. Why? It takes the power out of the word. It can be meant as derogatory OR as a substitute for, let's say, "dude". HENCE, my mentioning my lesbian/gay friends who use the word in it's somewhat insulting form to reclaim it. Also, do you really think "fruitcake" has anywhere near the history or impact as "******"? I would say not. Especially since I've NEVER heard anyone use "fruitcake" to describe a gay person before. If I had, I would laugh because they're obviously just to timid or uncomfortable to say "gay". Again, the only point I was trying to make is that fruitcake is by no means imaginable insulting. Unless, of course, you really want to get pissed and insulted by it. Then, by all means, get pissed. That's your prerogative.

Not to mention, "gay" was reclaimed by the lesbian and gay community at some point too. At one point it was a just another word that meant something else. Much like, hmmm, I don't know... FRUITCAKE.

'Fruitcake' or 'fruit' is not offensive. It's not like he opened up a present which said '******'. Can't you see the difference? Any word can be used offensively, but 'fruit' is not much of an insult at all. It's not the 1950's, we have much better (or worse) insults. Using 'gay' as a slang term for lame IS offensive. It's almost as bad as calling something 'retarded'. No, i'm not being overly politically correct, i'm just being a decent human being. Oh, and please stop with the 'gay friends' bit. It's so annoying.. It reminds me of those racists you see... "Oh yeah, i'm not racist, I have asian friends.. Yeah, a few darkies roll in our crew.. I kissed a jewish girl once.. But why the **** are mexicans so damn lazy?"

=( I'm sorry. That's a bigger FML. Hopefully you at least got to spend it with loved ones, and hopefully you have your health and everything. Merry late Christmas =)

Christmas isn't about the gifts...
