Do I?
Yes you do. The appropriate authorities are waiting for you.

I think that's just you doing what you think I'm doing. I only entered the discussion because you said a word was a synonym of another word, then promptly quoted a source listing synonyms, with that word not in evidence. I'll do that for any word.
I've also mentioned the limitation of reference works and how they aren't always current with the culture for context. Only an ignoramus would deny that "gay" isn't a synonym for both "queer" and "happy" for instance. The only way they'd do that is to ignore the world around them.
Ask Henry Rollins. Or Dan Savage. Ask anyone for that matter. Or are you an antisocial aspie with control-freak tendencies as well? It's as if you don't learn.
And, yes, you're also deliberately ignoring people who just happened to identify with being LGBT and took back that particular piece of language decades ago to the point that it becomes a humorous self-deprecating weapon. Fun stuff! That means you're out of touch. So much for the lie that whitebred, liberal, insipid P.C. idjits are concerned about the welfare of others. Do-gooders are so gay!
That's okay. You're still gay, P.C. boi. You are what you are. And I will never play by your rulllllllz. ;-)

EDIT: For grinz I decided to hit http://dictionary.reference.com for something a bit up to date when compared to my favorite circa 2003 electronic Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary+Thesaurus (11th Edition). This should leave things to rest as evidence of the multiple-meanings of "gay", unless one is an antisocial aspie P.C. ignoramus who also happens to be functionally illiterate for the lulz:
