Is It Gay to Write for Lovelyish?
"You're on a pink makeup site, you made a post about "mean girls", you get into a catfight with said mean girl, and you look androgynous .... and you're straight? hahahahahahahahahahahahaha"
Recently my friend was attacked with such a nasty comment because of a few things he'd written/done. This quote will remain anonymous as his first (and only) mistake was to reveal the name of such person.
But let's have a breakdown of this statement.
"You're on a pink makeup site"
Stop right there sister. How is that even wrong? There's several guys who also write for Lovelyish. My friend just happens to be more popular writing for them. I doubt there's 2000+ Lovelyish subscribers being ALL FEMALE. Are those remaining ones gay?
"Made a post about 'mean girls'"
Uhh, so? It's merely depicting the cruelty and blantant existence of some females. I'll be first to admit I'm a bitch when I have to be but only to those that deserve it. So, does writing about this topic contribute to his "gayness"?
"Catfight"
definition: used to describe two humans insulting each other verbally or being otherwise nasty to each other
Uhh, he's been respecting you the whole time I read the comments that followed in his posts. He even tried addressing you with the issue that you're being really childish. But what do you do? Be a brat about it. What happened to growing a pair? Why don't you stop twisting people's words or changing the subject altogether.
"Androgynous"
Sorry what? Did you really say that? What are you, five? Genetics can't change and just cause he has prettier eyes than you or doesn't have a butt-chin doesn't mean he isn't straight. Do you really think every effiminate-looking guy out there is gay?
I'm bisexual and finding you calling someone gay based on the limited information you have on them is just pathetic. It's an insult to me and probably every other person in the LGBT community to think that you'd throw around the word 'gay' like that.
So, is it gay for someone to write for Lovelyish?

Of course not. Whoever wrote that comment is ridiculous.
I can't believe this is even a legit question.
Interesting.
Ugh, just a stupid comment by an obviously not too bright person. You aren't gay just because you write for lovelyish and you're a guy.
Of course it's not gay. Some people are just ignorant and need to get some education in their lives. Be you and screw what dumb biotches say. =]
D:
(Not gay, btw)
it's the same as the fuckers who call everything that they think is stupid replace it with "gay" or "retarded." aka the fuckers who need a hard punch to their nose and groin.
It's funny how ballsy people can be when they're sitting behind a computer screen. People are bitches.
And again I ask...why the hell are these stupid things being posted?! The title alone is gonna get even more angry comments soon...
There is no doubt that what they said was wrong.
I think the issue should be addressed directly to the person who wrote these things (even if it has already been done so). Obviously they read lovelyish, and this is going to strike controversy with them. I have been hurt by people online, but it is just online. Unless this person is a direct friend you know in person, I would do your best to dismiss the hurtful comments because it may only cause more problems.
No matter who you are, what you look like, what you have to say...there are going to be someone that have something negative to say about...
IT"S LIFE!!
I do believe in standing up for things you believe in, but I also believe in picking your battles carefully and writing a post being so defensive like this is just giving the negative people fuel...Do what you want and as long as your proud of it, honestly who cares what anyone has to say.
No. I could say this about girls on mancouch.
@BellaGlam - @The_Tudor_Rose@xanga - i actually know him, so i felt he should have a friend's backup :P
one of the reasons he stopped writing for mancouch was cause of readers like her that made rude comments :\
@snapeful@xanga - exactly!
i seriously hate it when people keep using stuff like "ew, doing that is gay"
i'm just like "wtf?" how does picking up trash make something homosexual
the connotation of these words become all negative
what kind of retarded question is that? LOL
I was thinking about this today. About how much power words have over us as a community. Saying something is gay is "wrong" because we allow it to have a negative connotation. Was your friend really so insulted about being called gay? If so maybe he should look in the mirror (along with the person that did the name calling). Just like "retarded", I said "Our government is retarded" to which I was bombarded with "You shouldn't say that, it's not PC", "Retarded" only has a negative connotation and we have forgotten the true meaning of words. These words shouldn't be thrown about as insults, but we shouldn't be so thin skinned.
Things that make you gay: Having sex with boys.
its bogus, people who have mean things to say on a computer wouldnt actual have the guts to sya it in real life... and the word gay has many definitions words change meaning over time , so people need to cool it with that
@madchen_girl_chica@xanga - You make a good point there. But I think the negative reaction was in response to the negative way the word was used. I agree that people are becoming oversensitive to the whole "PC" thing, but I think in this case the author (and author's friend) has a right to be upset because it was used in a condescending way -- and could only be taken as such. Your use of "retarded" was not meant to be an attack on someone's severely limited mental abilities; that person's use of "gay" was definitely meant to attack the author's friend's sexuality.
No, and anyone with a brain knows that. HOWEVER, I don't think writing this was brilliant, either. Trolls feed off of attention. Whoever said that knows this is about her and loves it. People say stupid shit all the time on the internet. Block and delete.
lulz
No, it is NOT gay to write for Lovelyish.
Screw whoever made that comment.
I dont find anything wrong with a guy writing for lovely-ish. I mean females do it all the time on mancouch. Doesnt make em gay.
Oh my goodness the closemindedness of some people.
@Sammyhellsyea@xanga - HAHAHA awesome.
