At least in jokes, the use of the slang term “gay” is not so inappropriate as it is in (so-called) news programs - since it is a slang term. I got very tired of CNN International generally putting people on who’s English was not so good. But they had one woman, blondish red hair I think, whose job seemed to be to establish a Guiness record for the rate and the number of times a news presenter could say “gay” that would last a thousand years. I saw it once and thought it was odd - but then I saw her own many more times over the course of years. Every time she was on it was the same thing. Your guess is as good as mine on what the motive was.
