Actually they weren’t “gay”. They were homosexuals, a much longer and scientifically precise word for sodomites. Once again the language is being twisted so that it becomes meaningless and therefor not useful for thought. I’m not surprised to see that Freepers aren’t immune to this most pernicious of mind control tactics. I’d call it subtle, but it isn’t really. Like the soothing “choice” or “socialism” itself, gay has come to mean sunshine and lollipops and replaces the word the expresses the evil horror of what it is. Thereby blunting the revulsion normal people feel for it. Oh, by the way; gay was used in the Bible to mean good.
