"Gay" meant "happy" IN ENGLISH when he grew up, before the word was kidnapped. Beside, we are so much locked into the english language and culture, we get mad when we see a word we believe to be english FIRST... His name wasn't Ban Bay but Bangay. Who knows what the etymology was. But for that ENGLISH gay couple only a full nuclear strike was adequate... A chinese gay couple would not have reacted at all. Why reduce the whole world to your tiny selfish culture down to a pink cul-de-sac?
