What's In A Word?
There are some people who have recently let it be known that they don't like it when others use the word "gay" in describing something as stupid. As a matter of fact, some gay rights groups even got on Katy Perry's case last summer for having a song called "UR So Gay" in which she blasts a boyfriend for being a loser. Quite frankly, I have no sympathy for these homosexual groups because they themselves hijacked the word "gay" in the '60s and '70s when they stated their movement. After all, a half century ago, being gay meant being happy. Using the word in its original meaning today usually gets a person ridiculed. As a matter of fact, in 1997, a town on Martha's Vineyard changed its name from Gay Head to Aquinnah (meaning land under the hill) because of political correctness surrounding that three-letter word. So, I don't want to hear about the word being hijacked in the names of sophomoric humor and lack of coolness when the homosexual agenda first hijacked the word for their own political purposes when the word gay was exclusively used to describe a person who was in a happy state of mind.
