this whole conversation is quite absurd. from Webster's 9th Collegiate
Dictionary:

GAY - adj. 1. a: happily excited: MERRY b: keenly alive and exuberant:
having or inducing high spirits ...bla bla bla.

the LAST item in the list refers to being homosexual.

i don't know how many people here read the European music/fashion rags,
but there is a term called GAY MUSIC. it is an offshoot of techno/rave
dance/disco music (which is predominantly made by gay people and was a gay
thing before everyone else picked up on it to begin with). the term was
used specifically because of the first def of the word gay. it had and has
nothing to do with insulting homosexual people.

while i support gay rights, it is clear that this is all a misunderstanding
that doesn't require a lot of yelling and insults.

Yes.  Beautiful, wonderful nature.  Hear it sing to us: *snap*  Yes.  natURE.
