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

Re: The word "GAY" getting hijacked
I think the forum's server has resurrected messages from 1983.

Re: The word "GAY" getting hijacked
Personally, I'm a retrosexual. I've not decided what it is yet, but I like the sound of it.
