I don't see why people get riled up about that word. Gay has many different meanings. Just like bad can mean good and cool can mean awesome. Gay, whenever I use it usually means something along the lines of lame.
"That's gay."
Same meaning, different phrasing.
The Flintstones had a gay ole time.
I don't care about anyones sexual orientation. I have a sparse few homosexual friends, and those are almost extinct because those people can't keep their hands to themselves when they drink.
(Ok, they aren't MY friends. It's more like they are my GFs friends and she enjoys their company...)
but still!
I remember when Decote Fag was covering Randell Gay. Now THAT was funny when the announcer commented about the coverage.
