i play a lot of video games, with other kids on the internet and i am CONSTANTLY telling kids that "'gay' is not a synonym for 'stupid'"

also, and interesting thing: last winter break i was home from school and saw one of my friends at a party. I asked her how she was doing, and she said "I'm straight". I asked her to repeat what she had said, and was shocked to find that "straight" was the new "good", "fine", and "cool". I had heard the gay=bad or stupid remark, but never this straight=good. needless to say i was blown back...she hasn't used it around me since, but if she does i will be sure to remind her its not a proper use of the word :)
