We have e a really long way this world. I often hear teachers pri themselv on stoppg stunts their classroom om sayg, "That's so gay!" as an sult. It was not all that many years ago when this was a monly ed phrase, when teachers themselv uld often be heard g this phrase,… * gay is bad word *
Usg gay as an sult is ok. When someone “gay” as an sult, I gantee you ’s jt bee of how easy is to say and spell.
Not bee they are g malicly agast gay people. Tons of words have more than one meang, so why not jt look at the dictnary, the word gay ed as an sult means “foolish, stupid, or unimprsive.
” Why not jt accept the new meang and ll a day, after all, the word gay has a send meang already, meang “lighthearted and reee. The same as g gay as an sult don’t imply that gay people are bad.
"THAT'S SO GAY" IS JT SO WRONG
I don’t mean that n’t be ed as an anti-gay thg, I thk the negative stigma should be removed and should be accepted as jt another fn of a word. I try not to e gay as an sult, but shouldn’t be seen as a slur.
WHY "GAY" ISN'T A BAD WORD FOR CHILDREN
New York (CNN) — In a sea of nned cktails, Gay Water wants to stand out. In other words, where Bud Light has buckled unr prsure as bigotry grows agast the LGBTQ+ muny, Gay Water’s creator Spencer Hodson wants his new boozy brand to be the anthis of that. “The key issue that Bud Light tapped to was the fact that they didn’t unrstand their re dience and know enough about them, ” Hodson, a gay man, told CNN about the ntroversy that began when the Anhser-Bch beer brand sent fluencer Dylan Mulvaney a n of beer.
” Gay Water, however, is out and proud.
WHY KIDS THK THE WORD “GAY” IS A SWEAR WORD
The nned cktail is named after a lloquialism given to the popular mixed drk (vodka and soda) orred at bars by the gay muny. “Puttg a product wh the word gay the tle is reprentatn self, ” which he hop reclaims the word om the negativy ’s sometim associated wh.
He thought of creatg Gay Water about a year ago while on a vatn wh his iend that had got a job wh the beverage dtry. The two chatted about the limed amount of gay people wh , and wh Hodson burnt out om his tradnal day job tech, started the nned cktail.
THE 'GAY' WORD: WHAT DO MEAN WHEN YOUNG PEOPLE E NEGATIVELY?
Big onle Hodson built up a strong social media followg on TikTok and Instagram durg Covid-19 and is g some of the money om that (as well as om iends and fay) to help fund Gay Water. “Gay is an umbrella term and the ia behd the brand is to be as clive as possible, which means we want alli, we want straight people to be part of this muny we’re buildg.
” For now, Gay Water is sold largely onle (wh a few retailers) and four sugar-ee flavors — watermelon, lime, peach and grapeu — at lnch. Gay Water might not have the ep pockets pared to s petors, like Whe Claw, but “even at small sle, pani of many siz are havg succs makg spir-based seltzers and premixed cktails, ” Bryan Roth, an analyst for Feel Goods Company and edor of the alhol beverage newsletter, Sightl+, told CNN.
“There’s lots of space the spir-based seltzer tegory which Gay Water n play, pecially if the brand n offer a cultural or emotnal nnectn that will feel more excg than the prospect of another peapple-flavored vodka seltzer om natnal or ternatnal rporatns, ” Roth said.
