I was feeling gay last week....
My partner and I are not gay all the time. I mean we are happy.

I've been more depressed than gay lately.

I don't know what people are talking about....GAY??

I went to a wedding and everyone there seemed pretty gay, what is the big deal?

Why don't people want to have gay weddings?

Sheesh....come on can't we have a little frivolity at joyous times?

Whhheeeee'll anywho

Have a gay Christmas everyone!

6. You sound like my spouse
Who was complaining that the temperature here yesterday broke his streak of being able to wear Birks every day since April.

3. What is the etymology of "gay" anyways?
When did "gay" start being used to mean "male homosexual"? I'm thinking back to the times of people like Wilde, I don't think he was called "gay".

Interestingly I just found out that "camp" comes from 1920's British Romani slang.

14. In the movie "Bringing up Baby"
Cary Grant is wearing a woman's frilly robe (his clothes got wet-long story) Hepburn says why are your wearing that? He says oh I don't know I just suddenly turned gay !
I don't think the word was much in use that way before then

5. My Whole Family (Thinks I'm gay): A fabulous YouTube
Edited on Tue Dec-23-08 12:27 PM by Democrats_win
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZoO8LyizLA

Every time I go to dinner
Seems like I'm getting a little bit thinner.
I'll sit down at the breakfast table.
I can talk, well they're not able.
When I look at them I find.
There's a single question on their mind.

I wish it could go back to the way it was
It's not easy now because...

My whole family thinks I'm gay,
I guess it's always been that way.
Maybe it's 'cause of the way that I walk
Makes them think I like... boys.

That I like boys.

The goddamn just won't go away.
And I get asked every single day.
But the way they ask it is not a disguise,
Like, "How was your day? Do you like to kiss guys?"

This is the worst,
Baby this was my fear.
Now their opinions are crystal clear.
Because...

My whole family now is shocked.
I'm in the closet, and the door is locked.
Now my glory days are gone
I was John Elway, now I'm Elton John.

My whole family now suspects
Watching Spongebob had side-effects.
I'm not gay and that's what I said
If I'm gay hey, God, strike me dead.

That's weird.

Just 'cause I'm on the cheerleading team
Or my birthday party had a Broadway theme.

When I go outside, what do I see?
That the clouds in the sky spell F-A-G.
Because...

I think that God might think I'm gay.
What does He know anyway?
My grandma gave me a present just last year,
And the card said, "Happy Birthday, Queer!"

My whole family thinks I'm fab.
There's a guy's butt hey, Bo, take a stab.
Why doesn't he get women?
There's no other way.
It's 'cause I'm lanky, not 'cause I'm gay, alright?

Not 'cause I'm gay.

Just 'cause I'm afraid of the snow.
Or my favorite color is the rain(Bo)w.
I don't mean to yell, but I feel I must.
'Cause I'm losing the people that I thought I could trust.
Because...

Even my boyfriend thinks I'm gay... Just kidding.

You all probably think I'm gay...
Man this song is counter-productive.
La la la la la la...

Because...
My whole family thinks I'm gay.
What do they know anyway?
You gotta look right through the haze.
Easy-Bake Oven was just a phase.

My whole family thinks I'm queer.
That is all I ever hear.
But I've been as straight as a ramp,
If you don't count Bible camp.

Bible camp.

I'm not gay I swear.
