"Gay" has TWO meanings, really!!

Consider things like Partridge Family, Brady Bunch, or The Sound of Music. Now, somebody refers to one of those with "That's really gay!" I bet you're jerking your knee right now over some notion of sexual discrimination.

Anyone who isn't a complete moron is aware the word "gay" has two meanings:

1. Happy (albeit altered in modern times to "disturbingly ultra-happy")
2. Homosexual

As an exercise to those of you who read "That's really gay!" as referring to homosexuality: Point out the homosexuality in Partridge Family, Brady Bunch, and The Sound of Music. (I'll give you a cookie when you find it.)

Obviously there is none. But they are extremely well-known for depicting "happy, happy, happy!" to a freakish degree.

Therefore, when someone uses "That's gay" to refer to those or other such shows, music, etc., there are two possibilities:

1. They're calling it "disturbingly ultra-happy" and making zero reference to homosexuality.
2. They're a complete and utter moron who is so unbelievably stupid they can't even comprehend what "homosexuality" actually is.

Bottom line:

• If you consider "That's gay" to always refer to homosexuality, you're a moron.
• If you use "That's gay" to refer to things that obviously aren't homosexual but still intend it to be a homosexuality reference, you're an even bigger moron.
