Rejected gayness

“Gay” is quite honestly more commonly used in teenage vernacular to mean “lame” or “unappealing,” and it’s very uncommon for the words to carry any meaning intentionally derogatory towards homosexuals. Is it questionable use of syntax? Perhaps, but it was very obvious that the op did not mean it in the context that you assume. If you are legitimately offended by the use of the word in such a way, ekmom, I suggest you unplug your computer to save yourself from the scary tubes of the interweb. Or stop being so sensitive and holier-than-thou. The former might be more energy-efficient and would probably be best for the rest of the forum. The op had a legitimate question, and if you are not able to come up with a contructive response to the question posed, I suggest you leave him/her alone.
