Since when does the word 'Gay' refer to homosexuals?
11/01/10 06:33 PM


Seriously... language evolves... and this word has moved on. Get over it.

It started with 'happy', and so every Christmas ♪ Now we don our gay apparal ♪ ... which means what exactly?

True, for a short while in the late 1900's the word meant homosexual, that's true, but that's a very short period of time compared to the millenium during which the word referred to 'happy'.

But face it, nowadays, the word has moved on past it's late-1900's conotation... This is the 2000's baby! Now it is more synonymous with 'lame'. Bart Simpson got teased for being 'gay' because he was holding hands with a girl... remember?

If Vince Vaughn calls an electric car 'gay', I hardly think the car has amorous tendancies one way or another... it's an inanimate object... which apparently Vince's character thinks is gay, er, lame. Why the outrage? Are homosexuals that fond of electric cars they don't want to see the cars dissed?
