I know. My mother and I always deprecated the homosexual community absconding with a PERFECTLY good word like gay. The "gay" caballero...remember that movie? I do. "Gay Paree"?
Those folks aren't GAY, they are homosexuals, a CHOICE they made some time in their early-mid teens.
The “Gay Blade”...was a term that we no longer hear....
I first heard the term used in the early 6o’s..and was stunned at how foolish it was.
“Gay” Blade..”gay” caballero..and “Gay Paree”...”replaced” by “Gay” “pride”
the Misnomer of all Misnomers
