Do you seriously believe homosexuals appropriated the word gay? How is it that a small part of the population got to dictate the language use of the vastly superior straight humans whilst being persecuted by anti-sodomy laws?
Anyone with half a brain engaged would get that gay arose as a derogatory term of which GLBTI had no choice in back then or now. Homosexuals did not even have a right to accommodation at the time let alone language. It is cultural and religious cognitive dissonance.
Why carry on about linguistics that evolved more than 40 years ago? Couldn't possibly miss the opportunity to sink the boot into someone who is already down, despised and bruised?
