Is there, in the whole world, a gay person offended by the use of the word “gay” to mean HAPPY?

This important question brought to you by an edited version of the Kookaburra song that calls Kookaburra’s life happy “to not offend anyone.” I’m willing to change how I sing the song if it seriously offends someone in the QUILTBAG community but if we’re just trying not to offend the poor straights by reminding them of the gays? Yeah, eff that.

    Ummm… Queer, Undecided, Intersex, Lesbian, Transgender, Bisexual, Asexual, Gay? That’s the best I got for piecing out...

    Wait, are we going by QUILTBAG now? I’m…I’m not even sure I know what all of the letters mean.
  3. slightly said: yeah, I think that’s more likely to be the ‘you can’t say ‘gay’ near CHILDREN’ school of thought!

  6. thevitruvianplunge said: I’m not offended. That change just seems incredibly silly. Don we now our gay apparel, for tis the season to be jolly and gay.
