My aunt married a man who’s last name was Gay. they are both gone now but I have a cousin named Gay. I have often wondered, as I have seen the definition of this word change, if he would change his last name to something more manly.

The road which turns off the main highway before heading up the mountain toward our house is named “Gay Road”.

It is named for a small community that used to be there and was named “Gay”. Absolutely NOTHING to do with homosexuals.

Liberals destroying the language, again. If they cannot co-opt a word then they outlaw it.

Next thing you know some Federal judge or the USPTO will outlaw “Redneck” and “honkey”. Then what shall I call myself?
