What the word "gay" really means, and how it's defined. Options

[JerzDevil]

See gay isn't all about homosexualness or a generic insult. We all know we often prejudice people we don't like by using this term. But we can also describe people "gay" in a slight way, living a promiscuous life or with AIDS. In a more positive way, it's used to describe a good-spirited man, that's happy. You know? Just happy. It's nature. It's just a desire that occurs .. Take Frankie as an example. He's gay. Why? I respect him for making the right choice. It's unique to be very gay, "claming" that your actually gay to the public. Most gays are embarassed to confess that. A man's a man, with gay pride .. it's 100% gay pride.



This is my lesson for the day. I hope you guys learn the best of it.

The word "gay" in the context of "happy" hasn't been used popularly for a very, very, very, long time. It annoys the hell out of me when people say that it means "happy" as a defense for their idiotic use of it to mean "stupid". "Gay" in the modern world, means "homosexual". It's fine if you honestly believe and do use "gay" as happy, but I've met people who say "That's so gay." and are like "IT MEANS HAPPEEEE!"

I actually haven't heard that word in the context of "stupid" in the longest time (with the exception of this thread), and I'm very glad about it. In Hawaii, my cousins used it all the time, and I found it extremely rude that they meant it as "stupid" when the the words have nothing to do with each other.
