We shall soon see when the Celeb Big Brother hits our screens sometime after Christmas..

EXCLUSIVE: Big Brother's Kerry has issued an apology after she came under fire for the use of the word gay when referring to something negatively, she has since been warned of the consequences

Talking of overused words .....

Remember in BB7 when everyone kept saying " babe," especially
Aisleyne & Imogen .

Agreed. I use the word she said, for the same reason, quite a lot.

I love to see heteros downplay homophobia.

Whether you care to admit it, it IS homophobic.

…of course, it is derogatory and a homophobic slur and something that for me would definitely merit a warning from BB and I hope that Kerry has realised how offensive her words are…but I don’t think that ‘outrage’ from social media and calls for Kerry being axed are appropriate to the incident, either….

[GoldHeart]

Interesting ....I wonder if it would be edited out if Zak said it . I want to give BB the benefit of the doubt ,but so far it feels like Kerry & Paul are being protected.

Like I said it's the principal of it ,and fair should be fair.

Strange isn’t it? wonder why they would do that…

[Vanessa]

I don't think she said anything that deserves her getting thrown out.
But I still wanted her to go on Friday.
Give the chance for others to shine.

[Benjamin]

We all know how much I dislike Kerry but that is far from offensive. I find her moaning more offensive.

Using the word "gay" in the place of saying something is bad or negative is definitely homophobic, lmao. It's just that it's been normalised and some people simply don't care. Try that with any other minority group and see what the reaction would be.

I'm not saying she's a deliberately homophobic person, but it definitely feels like a bit of a Freudian slip, and it's honestly such an outdated phrase that she's literally made herself look like a 14 year old boy in the year 2008. More than anything, she's just a ****ing dumbass for saying that in the Big Brother house of all places, AND in front of a gay housemate.

I can’t speak for all gay guys, but it really doesn’t offend me.

True
But I just wish BB would be fair with editing ,and not censor what they think is ' offensive' . So far it seems like Kerry & Paul are teacher's pet.

That I agree with. Can’t believe they never showed Paul’s convo.

There have been many convoys on live feed that we ain't seen on the hl show..its not just kerry and paul.

Tom for instance, was describing how he would enjoy battering evil 5 year olds with baseball bats.

So if I am correct the boys stole Kerry's mattress (or pretended to) and she said that this act was gay

Or indeed they were both gay for stealing a mattress?

Is stealing a mattress some sort of euphemism,?

I'm confused

That's not really the point though. It doesn't offend me because I don't value her opinion and I'm too secure to be offended by something like that.

BUT, you can still call out the fact of her words being homophobic without being personally offended. She still used the word "gay" as a pejorative, and given the fact she's a forty year old woman, it says a lot about her character. And alas, we've already got people jumping on the bandwagon to say that using "gay" as a negative slur isn't homophobic, which is laughable and only helps to further weaponise gay people as "snowflakes" for caring about homophobic language and stoke the rampant culture wars we are seeing at the moment, thanks to a supposed harmless comment from her.

It's fine for someone to say that it doesn't offend them, or that they simply don't care, that's their prerogative, but the mental gymnastics to pretend like it's not homophobic are ridiculous. Is it equal to an egregious act of homophobia or a hate crime? No. But it's still homophobic and language matters.

She wasn't saying they are literally gay, she was using "gay" in the place of saying "that's bad" or "I don't like that", it's a phrase that was commonly used by teenagers in the 2000's and became a sort of accepted and normalised homophobic remark under the guise of it being "harmless".

[parmnion]

You gays should use the proper words for being gay to stop the confusion.

[thesheriff443]

This was only a problem because it was aired on tv And not covered by bird song
Bb then had to take action by calling Kerry to the diary room and warning her it was inappropriate and against the rules
She then apologised and it’s over and done with

[GoldHeart]

It's funny how BB left in her trying to get sympathy with " oh pick on the disabled woman" , why not show the full conversation.

[Alf]

So the LGBTQXYZ Nazi Police are coming after people's basic freedoms yet again.

The LGBTQ movement is such an authoritarian movement. That's undeniable, it's plain to see right here if this is true. No wonder the older homosexuals don't want anything to do with it.
