The word "GAY" getting hijacked
 
The word "GAY" getting hijacked - not so long ago it was a word used in poetry and language - then the likes of Larry Grayson et al helped hijack the word.

Regardless of what is going on in current affairs etc I object to the word itself being hijacked and find this manipulation of the English language repugnant

I think the forum's server has resurrected messages from 1983.

Homosexual lobby groups have hijacked it and altered the meaning of lots of old poems and verse

Room? Are you implying that we are in some sort of closet?

Personally, I'm a retrosexual. I've not decided what it is yet, but I like the sound of it.
