The Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) joined with The Advertising Council today to launch the first national multimedia public service advertising (PSA) campaign designed to address the use of anti-gay language among teens. The campaign launch coincides with the release of GLSEN’s 2007 National School Climate Survey, which found that nearly nine in ten lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) teens report having been verbally harassed in the past school year, and almost half have been physically harassed because of their sexual orientation.

** lesbian = 女同性戀
** gay = (尤指) 男同性戀
** bisexaul = 雙性戀
** transgender =  跨性別 (將自己的性別角色之部分或全部進行反轉) ；如變裝與變性。
** sexual orientation = 性別取向

(英文解說)

1.
Do you like this top?
So gay!
Really?
Yes, it’s totally gay!

(說明)
top = 上衣；上裝 (a piece of clothing that one wears on the upper party of one’s body)

這裡的 “gay” 是指上衣很難看。美國有些青少年會使用歧視同性戀字眼。”nigger” 也會被人用來形容不好的事情。如下例：
My watch is being nigger today.
(我的錶今天有點瘋瘋的。) 

2.
You know. You really shouldn’t have said that.
Say what?
Say that something is gay when you mean it’s bad. It’s insulting.

(說明)
shouldn’t have said…
= 過去完成式說明過去不應該做某事

insulting = 侮辱人的

3. 
What if every time something was bad, every body said: that’s  so ”gril-wearing-a-shirt-as-a-top”.
Oh, you are.
Those are cute jeans, though.

(說明)
gril-wearing-a-shirt-as-a-top = 把裙子當作上衣來穿

4.
When you say “that’s so gay”, do you realize what you say?
Knock it off!

(說明)
knock it off = 別再用這種辭彙了！ (spoken) used to tell someone to stop doing something because it’s annoying you
