"That's So Gay"

GLSEN (Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network) has been running a public service campaign called: "Think Before You Speak". The campaign (featuring 3 short commercials: cashier, pizza shop, fitting room) is designed to help educate people about the phrase: "That's so gay" (in reference to something that is dumb or stupid). The campaign clearly points out that this phrase is hurtful to those that are glbt.

What do you think of these public service announcements? Have the announcements shifted the way you talk or think? Aside from avoiding phrases like: "That's so gay", what else can someone do to become more sensitive to the feelings of those around them?
