Why is "No homo" offensive? I wouldn't get my panties in a bunch if they start saying "No hetero", gay people just as sensitive as liberals and blacks.
its w/e, he was already ready to get fined when he went on that tirade.
but the interpretation is based on ASSumption, and not fact. If i say i am not this that or the other....i could be stating just that...that is not who i am. It is the person on the other end who feels that they are beneath said term, and interpret it as such.by using the term "no homo" in a conversation, the speaker is trying to proof a point like:
"I'm saying INSERT_STATEMENT_HERE, but I don't want you to think that I'm homosexual."
So i think the OFFENSIVE part of saying "no homo" is that the speaker is implying that don't associate me (the speaker) with homosexuality because I (the speaker) thinks it has a NEGATIVE connotation (ie, there is something wrong with homosexuality and that calling someone a homosexual is an insult).
And the person WHO WOULD TAKE OFFENSE to the term "no homo" would be people who do not believe homosexuality is wrong and is an acceptable lifestyle.
It would like if you called someone white or black or purple or whatever as an insult, as if you'd never want to be white or black or purple or whatever.
Example my girls are mixed...many of times ppl ASSume or ask hey are you latina, (younger days white etc...) by them saying im no hispanic im black and korean...the no hispanic part isnt my daughters saying oh im better then hispanic ppl and i dont want to be associated with them. It is simply them saying im not hispanic im black and korean mixed. Now if an hispanic takes it to heart and feel as if they are implying they are better then them, thats their fault...based on their own ASSumptions.
