from his website "Dr. Marc Lamont Hill is one of the leading hip-hop generation intellectuals in the country." Can anyone say that with a straight face? |

Yeah, no homo. Boy. That's really weird. Do gay folks have to say 'no hetero' or 'no breeder' or something? |

What a gay phrase. That's really queer. |

And it could sure kill a lot of great (well.. maybe not great, but certainly a lot) humor around here. Say, for instance I remarked, "I'm feeling jolly.". Now there is an opening for some enterprising humorist. What a setup. But if I were to say, "I'm feeling jolly, no homo.", it just kills it. No humor potential at all. Oddly enough, 'no homo' could be considered the death of the straight man. |

Leno, and others, used to do the same all the time... how many times have I heard "not that there's anything wrong with that..."
No. They are reinforcing the idea that they are afraid of ridicule, shame, and surveillance. In others words, they're reinforcing the idea that they're insecure. |

Nope, it's just a joke. You can try to psychoanalyze it as if everything said against homosexuality was homophobic which is supposedly really just a mask for repressed homosexual inclinations, but its a silly argument. The flip side of that same sort of thinking is that any homosexual who makes a statement criticizing a joke about homosexuality is really insecure in their own orientation -- probably deeply ashamed of their predilections -- and so is compelled to try to change everyone else who does not accept their orientation rather than deal with their own psychological issues. I don't think you'd agree with such a view, but it really is the flip side of what you just wrote. |

i find the transformation that spoken and written English is undergoing as youngsters, the internet, wireless communication and human ingenuity collide, fascinating. English is sooooooooooo unweildy with it's mishmash of archaic spellings and diverse linguistic roots. It SHOULD absolutely be streamlined and re-spelled phonetically. It is the world's richest language, the most descriptive because of the incredible diversity of cultures that contribute to this huge linguistic melting pot. no homo.. is super funny if you ask me. i am not in the least appalled. we should embrace homosexuality as normal and i applaud the younger generation for at least acknowledging that it exists with humor. (i call my sons my homeboys on facebook - their friends think it hilarious) we've come a long way since ecce homo. |

My mistake - however, the term is clearly a euphemism for something, even if he doesn't actually realise it yet. |

IT,
I didn't say everything. Sheesh. And I hardly spent any time try to psychoanalyze it either, it's the first thing that popped into my head. Sheesh. I agree that sometimes it's just a joke.
That's quite presumptuous of you (a pattern I'm noticing). And you're wrong. |

The phrase hasn't filtered across the pond yet thank God and I won't be using it, that's for sure. Sounds like another sign of our decaying western society. You folk aware of the upheaval on the Isle of Lewis this week? First a company started running ferries from the mainland on the Sabbath, then there was a gay marriage; at which point some jester quipped 'first Sabbath ferries, next Sabbeth fairies". http://www.thesun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/news/2544320/Isle-of-Lewis-in-gay-wed-row.html The Free Church of Scotland are outraged, pointing out that Genesis lays out the basics that God made the seventh day special, and that the ordination of marriage is between a man and woman. Call me a religious zealot from the middle ages if you want, but they have got a point. Our society is slowly going down the pan. |

No, our society is just changing, as it always has....for thousands of years. It has also "been going down the pan" since its creation. The ancient Greeks and Romans were aware of homosexuality, too. Weren't they more open to it? |

65 years ago millions of people were being shovelled into gas chambers and bombs were raining down across Europe, and the main concern today is whether some boat sails on a Sunday or whether two blokes want to live together. Call me a bit silly if you will, but personally I think that's an improvement. |

I've never heard of the phrase before. I agree it's silly. Originally used by people insecure in their sexuality, I hope it stops before it just becomes universal and loses any semblance to its original intent. In college I was the opposite. Any questionable line was delivered with a coy look. |

What I am wrong about, Bernard, that "I don't think you'd agree with such a view"???? If so that perhaps I was being presumptuous. But if not, then how exactly is it presumptous, Bernard? I didn't say that was the case, I made the point that it was the flip side of your pattern of thinking about how a comment made by a heterosexual about homosexuality is indicative of insecurity. If so then a heterosexual should be entitled to think that a comment made by a homosexual about heterosexual's motivations are really indicative of guilt, shame, self loathing, etc. If you agree that is a bad conclusion, then perhaps you ought to revisit your own knee jerk reaction that they are afraid or insecure. |
