“That’s so gay”

Rebeka Rice, a high school student in California, was disciplined by the school principal after using the phrase “that’s so gay” in a derogatory way.

Her parents have sued.

Rebeka Rice argues that she wasn’t being hateful. Instead, she said that she only meant: “That’s so stupid, that’s so silly, that’s so dumb.”

Hmmm. Isn’t there something hateful about using the word “gay” as a synonym for “stupid, silly, or dumb?” That’s so Rebeka Rice, if you ask me. And by that I mean, “what an idiot.”

I think it’s time to turn the phrase “that’s so gay” into a compliment. Why not? I love The Gays! In that spirit, I submit for you what I believe is the gayest music video I’ve ever seen. I mean that entirely as a compliment. Love it or hate it, how can you watch this video and not think “that’s so gay?”

(Don’t worry, it’s rated G. Or at least PG.)

Oh, c’mon, this doesn’t even come close to some of those old Wham! videos (what was up with those Baryshnikovian shoes?). I fell asleep halfway thought this video, which means it can’t be that gay. “The Gays” are much more entertaining!!
