Maybe the people who chose a common word to mean something totally different than intended should just give up being upset when people use the friggin word. That's what makes it so "gay". While I don't use the phrase, with the previous exception, I don't have any sympathy for those who get offended. You can't just adopt a word and make it yours and erase the ability of the speakers of the language from using it any damn way they want. Heck, the homosexuals that started using it did no less. Why couldn't they just say that they were homosexual and proud? There's no misinterpretation of homosexual right?
May you be gay and merry throughout your day.
