Having a number of homosexual friends and having been trying to fight the cause of using "gay" as a derogatory term for years, I was highly offended and severely disappointed. We all feel extremely sorry for you too.

You guys are making way too much of this. There are a lot of other words he could have said that are far more offensive than "gay." See, that's my take on it too. Things are alot different today then 15 years ago when I was in Grade 2 and being called "Gay" was the worst insult in the world. Seriously, we should be trying to make less words taboo rather then make words that are no longer taboo, taboo again.

As the OP, let me just state that I wasn't offended by Vince's remarks. It just stood out to me is all. What with the Think B4 You Speak campaign that's going on.

I think Vince's comment was very Girl wearing a skirt as a top.

Didn't see it, but it just sounds kind of stupid to me.
In an unscripted situation anyone could potentially say something that could be considered offensive, but given how scripted WWE usually is, it just makes this exceedingly dumb.

I can only imagine if Santino was involved in this skit. Vince would have had a plethora of derogatory terms in his arsenal.

Given I don't think anyone writes for Vince, it's possible it WAS an offhand remark in the first place.

I believe a previous poster said it as well. Vince calls masks gay, yet his son-in-law and his long haired cowboy hat wearing partner asks the crowd if they are ready to suck it...but wait if their not "down" with that they will instead give a demand of two words which is "suck it"...all the while they motion to the location with their hands they desire to be sucked, all the while elaborate fireworks explode after each crotch chop makes contact. So to summarize flamboyant masks are gay. Demanding felatio from your male adversaries, and a crowd of men, women and children is......................

Given I don't think anyone writes for Vince, it's possible it WAS an offhand remark in the first place. Seriously, why in the blue hell would Vince script his own birthday? The stuff he was saying was completely impromptu and it showed. Not just this comment either, but also the way he kept asking "How long is this going to go on?" and "Is this over yet?". I had no problem with it...in fact I'd almost say I marked. A pretty current reference there from the often out-of-touch boss. I don't see the actual campaign working and I really hope people just learn to lighten up about utterly harmless comments like this instead.

Personally, I didn't care in the least. Everyone should take a chill pill.

Vince McMahon just got banned from half the message boards on the internet for using the "G" word.
