Before I do killfile you, Are you, or have you ever been a homosexual?

Why would that matter?

It would go some way to explaining the axe you are grinding.

Ah, you think that only gay people would care about gay people being
tortured to death. Well, that certainly fits with the rest of your
contributions to this thread.

Who is torturing bright and cheerful people to death?

Language changes. We've had to learn to put up with abominations like
burglarize and 'train station',

Do we put up with "train station"....?

so I'm afraid you'll have to accept that
"gay" stopped having "bright and cheerful" as its primary meaning almost
half a century ago. Check any major dictionary and you'll find the
homosexual (esp male homosexual) is now the main usage of the word in
the English language.

I thought it meant something like "not very good", innit.
