Rediculous! When Gaytimes were first introduced, gay had only one meaning.
Homosexuals adopted the word to describe themselves. The word is not derogatory or offensive to homosexuals, so no need to change the name.
Some people just want to be offended and are prepared to invent causes.

I would have said crayon, going by the apparent mental age.

So they should be! I find gold offensive, mainly as I don’t have any.

Got it in one Ian. If someone wishes to call themselves that then is their decision but don't expect the world to comply & follow suit.


Who are we to criticise anyone who wishes to call themselves a Happy Teapot for instance, it makes about as much sense as all the other crap we have heard about recently.

"I'm a happy teapot hear me shout

Here is my handle here is my spout etc etc etc."

Now someone will say "What you got against teapots Bee?"[bigsad]

Shower shaped, perhaps?

I wonder if it's not more a case of "I can seem important if I scream loud enough about a random cause"?

I had the Monty Python "Bruce" sketch on in the car this morning. Used to love quoting some of that, but it'd probably get me a lifetime ban these days.
