I understand this is currently a popular cliche.

It's one that needs to be abandoned.

Mary Griffith from the movie Prayers For Bobby spoke on
the impact that speech (she was talking about much worse
than what you wrote)

Before you echo Amen in your home of place of worship, think and remember. A child is listening.


what is a child or adolescent or even an adult supposed to think when they
hear the phrase "that's so gay"?

sorry if this seems overboard on what I suspect was supposed
to be an innocuous remark. But I don't think we'd easily tolerate
the use of that cliche with some other 'different' group substituted for
gays. We shouldn't tolerate it for gay people. /end sermon
A lot of what we call 'thought' is just mental activity

When you are accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression

Those who are convinced of absurdities, can be convinced to commit atrocities

Cancelling Summer League???? WTF.

I was talking about Vegas for Summer League with Rafael over Twitter last month. In fact, I was pricing airline tix to Vegas for mid-July in anticipation of summer league.

:sigh:

doc, when you check back into this thread. I need a hug too.
