Can anybody still sing the song — Deck the Halls: “Don we now our GAY apparel” without thinking of something else?

Well if anybody were actually brain-dead enough, possibly so.

But such, of course, would represent the public triumph of the institutionalized abuse of the English adjective, "gay" — which evidently in recent times has been tortured into function as a noun.

This maneuver requires that any connection between "gay" and "suffering" are mutually exclusive....

Your thoughts, SeekandFind? Thank you so very much for writing!
