Aradzell User ID: 69552161 United States 06/20/2015 11:34 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | By the 1960's, Gay had been adopted by the gays as their own. They tried it with the word Queer, but it didn't take hold. The other derogatory words have been tried as well. Its the same reason why black people call each other 'n****r' - its owning the word and taking the sting out of it. The word Homosexual was first used in the 19th century. Prior to that there was no single word used to describe what we call 'gay' men. Since the word Homosexual didn't exist until the 19th century, how do you suppose then that a book reputed to be at least 2000 years old has it in it today? Hmmmm Sent from my iPhone 12 - because I'm better than you. |

Hmmmm because they are liars who hide behind cute little slang words and false latin scientific categoriea to cover up the fact they are buttf*ckers. Same dynamic as pedos who lure innocents with sweets and candies - they don't tell the child upfront they are a monster who wants only to rape them in the ass, they are just 'gay' happy guys who just want to hang out in the car for a little bit and eat candy together, you know - be 'gay' and free with rainbows and cartoons/music and stuff! unlike 'n*gger', the 'gays' want you to call them 'gay' because it distracts from what they really are about - buttf*cking, raping children. |

Stupid dupes will applaud the police because they are manipulated to pick teams and they are against Obama. The fact is when you will want to come out to protest the next big war and military draft you will be in a face off with those same police. then you will think "Oooh,I'm the asshole for supporting this shit". |
