As DoGooderLawyer said, you used it in a context that implies that it was bad, connotated specifically by the word "Gay." That's closed-minded and advances homophobia. With taht mindset and your otherwise condescending and shallow approach to people, I'm surprised you keep getting dates to advance this blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9097566840034375289.post-90061250460197921892009-11-24T17:28:00.347-05:002009-11-24T17:28:00.347-05:00absolutely, it's a good blog, and I truly hope...absolutely, it's a good blog, and I truly hope that you find happiness, or what you're looking for. and I'm really happy you considered what we said and that, as I suspected, you didn't mean it to be offensive.<br /><br />But, again, I have to disagree. Just because your specific four gay friends think it's cool, doesn't mean that using gay as a play on words to mean bad doesn't actually advance homophobia. It does. Even with their permission, it's still saying that gay equals bad, and language has power, so i really hope you won't use it anymore. <br /><br />Good luck!DoGooderLawyernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9097566840034375289.post-29546942470645600202009-11-21T13:12:35.984-05:002009-11-21T13:12:35.984-05:00Hey!

I really considered what you two said so I took a poll last night with my four gay friends and they said thats its totally cool if I keep gaydate (a play on words from jdate) on the blog! I do not mean it in an offensive way at ALL! So I hope you can understand that and please keep reading!Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07006662596353171795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9097566840034375289.post-33724102623437462192009-11-21T11:57:39.554-05:002009-11-21T11:57:39.554-05:00I'm with DoGooderLawyer.
