Something else that bothers me is the fact that gay people have completely co-opted the word, "gay". That was a perfectly good and useful word before those bastards took it over.
"Gay" described a person or mood that was happy and carefree. Ironically (and, although I'm sure there are many, many exceptions), a lot of the homosexuals I know spend a crapload of money on therapy and are far from what you might call happy and are rarely, if ever, carefree, so it doesn't even make sense they would use that word.
The fact is that there are lots of words they could have taken that aren't used very often like, "gliriformites" or "valetudinarians" or maybe "passulationists". That way, we could still use our word when describing parties or fun people and they could have a word that basically wasn't taken by anybody else.
