The image above is static, but the counters you can get on the site are real stats. I didn’t realize saying something is “so gay” is still used or seen as acceptable. Clearly it is.
I can’t recall if I personally used the term “gay” as a negative word when I was in middle or high school, but I know I was not actively opposed to it then either. My guess is that youth are the primary users of these terms, but I could be wrong.
Have you heard someone recently use the “gay” as a negative slur?

I say it to describe stupid things and to describe being happy. I don’t think of gay people as gay or having a label like that.

Yes, frequently by people of all ages below 40.

It doesn’t have to be an insult. Something can be stereotypically gay and that can be a compliment. Gay does not equal bad.

Yeah, this was common in high school, last year. We’d reply with “yeah that totally is attracted to people of the same gender, right on”.

I teach middle school. So. Yes. One student uses “bay” now instead so he doesn’t get my evil eye.

Very often. But never where the speaker has meant gay as in homosexual.
