The slang word for homosexual is 'gay'
Cathy Friday 3 September, 2010 - 9:04 PM -
As a child I clearly recall the word 'gay' was regarded as a beautiful English word generally associated with a lovely rose! Sadly, over time the use of the word was transposed to mean something else and, in my view, is now a word thoroughly ruined over time thanks to 'them'!

Why change the word "gay" in books, songs and ice creams. Sould i chnage my name if I was christend Gay? The meaning "gay"is only a recent addition to the context referring to homosexuals and lesbians
Why not take that word away from them and find another to decribe this community.
Now that makes sense!Mark Thursday 2 September, 2010 - 11:27 AM -

Sadly whether we like it or not "gay " now means homosexual, so to sing the song and say gay , well you're saying homosexual , so he's write to change the wording
