just need an opinion, proofread would be appreciated?

I did this for a writing class, but I haven't submitted it in yet. I just wanted to get a few opinions on it. This is nowhere near finished, so anything can be added just in case someone thinks of something else.

The word gay has two meanings. One, though hardly ever used;, means happy, bright, or flamboyant. The other means a homosexual mean.

As of lately, gay has taken on another meaning. One that I have yet to see in Webster’s Dictionary. It means stupid, disgusting, sometimes ugly. Any derogatory name can be equal to gay.

I hear this on the mouths of my peers multiple times a day. Yesterday, I heard a conversation about a pop quiz. One boy asked how the quiz went. The other boy replied with, “ That crap was mad gay.” What puzzled me was that these boys were within earshot of a teacher. They just kept strolling down the hallways and talking as if nothing offensive was said. These boys were no even chastised by the teacher, just allowed to go on speaking that way.

Gay used a slur, is a homosexual man’s N-Word. Continuously, there are stories about attempt sat getting the N-word banned. Hwy are there no stores for using Gay out of context? Hwy is this slur ignored and accepted in our society?

This willingness to acknowledge the usage of a derogatory form of Gay shows our nation’s unconscious homophobia. We can no longer pretend that gay people aren’t in existence, nor can we act like they don’t have rights. Just because gay people are not of a specific color, does not mean that they aren’t oppressed.

I got a bit of writer's block at the end, so suggestions would be VERY welcome.
