That's your opinion. I tend to not be so trigger hair upset by the use of words. Context and intent matter to me.

To you. Not to me.

There has been nothing that she has said or done that suggests that she has any dislike or hate toward gay people.

Calling people homophobes based on the use of a single unapproved word just feels so 2016 Tumblr. I thought that we had moved past that cringe.

Sorry but no amount of mental gymnastics will stop "gay" being used as a negative term being homophobic. Whether that bothers you or not is entirely up to you, that doesn't change the fact it's homophobic. You don't have to be a pick me to feel like you're above "2016 Tumblr".

It's not 'mental gymnastics' lol, it's just me saying that context and intent matter and that words on their own are not 'problematic' to me.

it isn't a fact on your part, btw, it's a subjective opinion.

I don't understand what you mean by a 'pick me' in this context. Please explain?

How on earth do you know that gay has always been used negatively.in every single conversation and scenario across the UK.

The word dont belong to anyone, and if commonly used enough to describe something then it should be accepted., just like when gay meant being joyfully and merry, before it was stolen by the biggest grinches on the planet to mean something else, that nobody apart from the grinches could talk about.


Get over yourself darling.


Kerry's convo was a convo with friends, one where calling a friends idea gay is actually a gentle way of
shutting a stupid idea down by using a term of endearment to do so.

All straight people are the same. I've never met a decent one. Even stopped you from entering my home. Love to make the context argument. You even do it with the f-word because meatballs have the same name.

Can’t agree with this more. It’s strange and immature expression to come out of the mouth of a 40 year old woman, who’s a middle manager for the NHS.

Can't stand her but this is so ridiculous. We need to stop being offended by words.

It's the principal of it , if Kerry & Paul's conversations are getting edited out ....then it's not really fair.

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.

[Northern Monkey]

Oh God. X formerly known as Twitter would explode if anyone used a real slur. Imagine a Ken Morley incident now? People would be asking for his head. I don’t think anyone controversial like Jim Davidson would even get in CBB these days.

Oh I'd forgotten all about Ken, when he kept going on about how much he enjoyed looking at the women's 'arses'

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

[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.

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.

They never do and try to gaslight by claiming it's you that's the problem.

[Benjamin]

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

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.
