<p>Yeah, for real. As I said, I went to one of the most gay friendly schools and gay people would say homo or even the other one that starts with F and has three letters. People are way too uptight.</p>
<p>it all depends what context you say it!</p>
<p>B05T0N's right. People here need to chill. I find it funny how straight people are more offended by such things than gay people. It's all ignorance and misunderstandings. As long as you use 'homo' in the sense of just being an abbreviation for 'homosexual', it's fine. Once you cross the line into insults, that's where it gets offensive. That line was not crossed.</p>
<p>Like I said, its not offensive. But the idea that you need to clarify that you're not gay by shouting "No homo!" after you do something that could be construed is sort of ridiculous.</p>

cuz of meee
yeah boiiii</p>
<p>arbiter, you need to get out more.</p>
<p>I agree with, arbiter. "Homo" is offensive because of its connotation but more than that, you are repulsive because of your usage of the word.</p>
<p>I mean <em>I agree with arbiter</em></p>
<p>didn't mean to put a comma there</p>

<p>Must be cold up there on that high horse of yours with that holier-than-thou attitude.</p>
<p>I love uptight people. That's repulsive? You must be a really well liked person...That was sarcasm, by the way.</p>
<p>I agree with arbiter as well. I find using "gay" and "homo" to be offensive, as if gay people don't have enough discrimination and ignorance to put up with in this country, now the word for their sexual orientation has become synonymous with "stupid" or "bad". </p>
<p>I understand that when people use it, they don't mean it offensively and it's become part of casual conversation, but that doesn't mean it originated that way. While I'm very used to hearing it all the time, to the point where I don't even notice anymore, I still can't believe how people try so hard to deny it's negative connotation.</p>
<p>haha... and now, back to hot boys?</p>
<p>CU-Boulder. There's something in the water there, really. But there are a few thousand gorgeous girls you'll have to compete with!</p>
<p>My best friend is Black and uses the N word in common conversation. So because she does, its cool for me too right?</p>
<p>Sure. I chill with black people who could care less unless I'm using it in a derogatory way.</p>
<p>This thread got really derailed, really fast.</p>
<p>I love this thread! When I seen the guys had the "hottest girls" thread I was wondering where the "hottest guys" one would be coming. I think USC has hot guys.</p>
<p>b05t0n, the rest of us aren't derogatory like you. btw, which school has the hottest guys in your opinion? also, what would you consider a hot guy? describe him.</p>
<p>SJ, were u aking bo5ton what kind of guy he liked or was the question open ended?</p>
<p>calgar... ya it sorta did.</p>
<p>I'm not derogatory in the slightest...</p>
<p>Haha, why definetely not. And quite considerate as well.</p>
