Yeah, a lot of my friends are straight... and they are very support of gay rights.
It's nice to have friends that are straight, and not judgemental, but support of my life.

ashanti ain't gay...she is datin nelly!?! and he don't look like a woman to me! whats wrong wit her talkin about homosexuals? you guys act pretty immature if you don't think that she should expand her horizons and talk about things that are going on it todays society. people don't "become" gay or bisexual its how they are when they are born and their preference comes out as they grow older. i think she is doing something great by talkin about these subjects since no one else in the hip-hop/rap/r&b world BARELY (there are some!) will. [and no i am not GAY or a HOMO or BI for that matter!]

You hate "Homo"? Why?

I hate "Dyke" and that seems to be the most commonly used slang in USA (from what I have seen), I say "Lessos". Is that bad? Mostly I just say Gay, that way it applies to both sexes.



Let's go with this freak show. It's outrageous.

I just don't like hearing people say things in a negative way.
Just like black people who call each other "N". I think that it's degrading to ourselves to do such things.
I will say, at times... "Yeah, I'm a dyke." But, I don't walk around to my gay friends and say... "Hey, Homo, what's up!" Just doesn't seem right to me.

shrty... no offense taken... trust me.

Actually, gay is generally referred to the men, where lesbian is for the women. Gays and lesbians. But, gay tends to be used, in general, for all, for some reason. Even I do that too.

No offense but callin black folks "N" or whatever you referred to has nothing to do with callin' someone a "dyke" i never use "dyke" it sounds really immature!

<REMOVED>is not that bad of a word for black people to call other black people or anyone for that matter. the time where it was a "bad word" was during the civil war and <REMOVED> where people would say it and be like "ur my slave do whatever i want" i think dyke is a waaaay different thing goin on. and i agree wit u lil'liyah

Until you're in my shoes, you have no idea if it's derrogatory. Trust me... it is insulting.

Anyway... that's not what this thread is about.

^i disagree about the N word. this is off topic but i think <REMOVED> is degrading to be calling each other. yes, it is a word that was used during slavery, so why should we still use it? most of the black people i know use the n word but if a white person came up to them and said that they'd probably murder them. yeah i'm guilty of using that word but i don't know, i guess i grew up hearing it used by other black people and i thought, ok it's aight for me to use this word. i shouldn't use it but i do. not often, just sometimes. as far as the word "dyke" i don't call anybody that, i don't know if it would be derogatory. people who usually use that word are probably homophobic, or are like that themselves.
