It seems to me that you are all very happy. I really like that, it makes me happy. Yes indeed, you are all extraordinarily gay. In case the offederati should have a problem with that, I mean this in the best of ways: “carefree”, “happy”. It really makes this place a better place. So Gay! ---

I’m not gay, I’m depression challenged. ---

I’m trying to understand the point of the OP. Obviously **JimNightshade** is trying to make some sort of point beyond us all being such happy folk, but I can’t quite figure it out. Is it a complaint about the dual use of the word “gay”? Is it an underhanded way of saying that we’re all homosexuals (mistakenly believing that this is an insult)? ---

The OP is envisioning us in the sun-strewn woods, gathering faggots and pansies for the pleasure of the Queens. At least that’s what I think he’s doing. But I’m a noted optimist. ---

I think his claim that he’s using the word “in the best of ways” is a huge clue to his opinion on gays. ---

Another silly complaint about “political correctness,” maybe? Iunno, I have far too much cock in my mouth to figure it out. ---

So Gay! Why are “carefree,” “happy” better ways of meaning “gay” than “homosexual?” ---

Apparently OP is writing in satiric reference to [this nearby ATMB thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=784568), questioning whether it’s an insult to call anyone gay or gay. (Which, by the way, is Magenta, not pink.) (ETA: Pink looks like this.) ---

Enough.
