"What is the Oxford Dictionary definition of gay?
adjective. /ɡeɪ/ /ɡeɪ/ Idioms. (of people, especially men) sexually attracted to people of the same sex synonym homosexual."
Socialistic Britain, Lemona
"Gay is a term that primarily refers to a homosexual person or the trait of being homosexual. The term originally meant 'carefree', 'cheerful', or 'bright and showy'.[1]
While scant usage referring to male homosexuality dates to the late 19th century, that meaning became increasingly common by the mid-20th century.[2] In modern English, gay has come to be used as an adjective, and as a noun, referring to the community, practices and cultures associated with homosexuality. In the 1960s, gay became the word favored by homosexual men to describe their sexual orientation.[3] By the end of the 20th century and beginning of the 21st century, the word gay was recommended by major LGBT groups and style guides to describe people attracted to members of the same sex,[4][5] although it is more commonly used to refer specifically to men.[6]"

my vocabulary better
Socialistic Britain, Xerimerc
Thats pretty gay
Socialistic Britain, Xerimerc
Every source that you would go to for the definition of a word says that the primary definition of Gay is a homosexual person
Socialistic Britain, Lemona
I know
And that is extremely stupid
They completely ruined the word gay and rainbows
Socialistic Britain, Lemona
You deeply frustrate me
Socialistic Britain, Lemona
Yes
Socialistic Britain, Lemona
cool
Xeri no one really thinks this conversation matters anymore
Socialistic Britain
Oh stfu
"ruined it"
Socialistic Britain, Lemona
i used to get made fun of for making rainbows
that really just says something about people in general tho
Socialistic Britain
anyways
I have concert on tuesday
Socialistic Britain
Things change
Would you prefer we go back to calling orange "yellow-red"
Or do you want to go further, back to ooga booga
Socialistic Britain, Lemona
Ooga booga is a derogatory term original used to refer to Africans
Im disappointed in you, Xeri
Socialistic Britain, Xerimerc
Or tribes in general
I expect better
Socialistic Britain
I was not aware of that definition, forgive me
nterjection. ooga booga. (slang, humorous) Mimicking caveman speech. (slang, offensive) Mimicking African languages.
Socialistic Britain, Lemona
m i l k
Socialistic Britain
Doesn't change my point though, which is that language changes and acting like it can't or shouldn't is silly
Socialistic Britain, Lemona
that was your point?
I thought you just wanted to ridicule villa
Socialistic Britain
You're both acting like language shouldn't change
Socialistic Britain, Lemona
ha

Socialistic Britain, Xerimerc
But that drastic of a definition change is stupid
The lesbians made up a new word (mostly)
Why cant you
Socialistic Britain, Lemona
funi
Socialistic Britain
Yea return to old English way cooler language
Socialistic Britain, Lemona
Drastic? Do you think we just changed it over night?
Socialistic Britain, Lemona
No
But someone decided that the word meaning happy would just refer to men attracted to other men now
Socialistic Britain, Lemona, Xerimerc
They are happy to be attracted to men
Socialistic Britain, Xerimerc
Also, Lesbian isn't a new word
It originally refers to a resident of the greek island of lesbos
Socialistic Britain, Lemona
Thats in Greek
We adopted it into English
Socialistic Britain, Lemona, Xerimerc
And Im happy to be attracted to women
WhOoaAAAA
Socialistic Britain, Lemona, Xerimerc
Gay was originally a french word :3
Socialistic Britain, Lemona
Lesbos women like women
Socialistic Britain, Xerimerc
Apparently coming from the french word "gai" which meant "full of joy and mirth"
Socialistic Britain, Lemona
thats gay
ahahahaha
please end me
Socialistic Britain, Xerimerc
That is indeed gay
Socialistic Britain, Lemona
Ok and
Also lesbos was the residence of a girl that was lesbian in her writings, so it actually has a consistent meaning, even though it wasnt made up by lesbians
Socialistic Britain, Lemona, Xerimerc
Do you refer to Sappho
I see nothing on her wikipedia page about her being a lesbian, other than that she lived on lesbos
"According to the Suda, Sappho was married to Kerkylas of Andros.[12] This name appears to have been invented by a comic poet: the name "Kerkylas" (Κερκύλας) appears to be a diminutive of the word κέρκος (kerkos), a possible meaning of which is "penis", and is not otherwise attested as a name,["
Socialistic Britain, Lemona
This went from a Gay conversation to a lesbian conversation
AHAHAHAH
Socialistic Britain, Xerimerc
The word "lesbian" is the demonym of the Greek island of Lesbos, home to the 6th-century BCE poet Sappho.[3] From various ancient writings, historians gathered that a group of young women were left in Sappho's charge for their instruction or cultural edification.[8] Little of Sappho's poetry survives, but her remaining poetry reflects the topics she wrote about: women's daily lives, their relationships, and rituals. She focused on the beauty of women and proclaimed her love for girls.
Lemona, Xerimerc
mm
didn't see that
Lemona
Also, not consistent meaning. If the word we used was "french" instead of "lesbian" because there was a homosexual woman in france once, would that mean "french" meaning homosexual women has a CoNsIsTeNt MeAnInG?
Lemona
No
The modern definition was imprinted after the word was first used
Lemona
ew
Xeri
you didnt even attempt to censor
Xerimerc
same as Gay
It is another example of a word changing definition

I'm not getting the email. Also I'm at a friends so I can avoid the power outage currently happening in Michigan but his internet sucks and I don't have data.
Lemona, Xerimerc
Wait this just happened
My powers back just got a text from my brother.
Lemona, Xerimerc
Banning mention of sexual/gender identity of school
Not even education, just mentioning of it.
Also, teachers would be required to mention to parents if their children exhibited warning signs of being gay or non gender conforming
Lemona, Xerimerc
Oh and banning sex ed
Lemona, Xerimerc
Finally my brother isn't being a pain.
Lemona, Xerimerc
Oh hell that's worse than I expected
Lemona, Sicario Mercenary Corps
They did not make up the word
And neither did we choose gay
It was given to us as a slur initially, same as queer!
Lemona, Xerimerc
Warning Signs!?
Lemona, Sicario Mercenary Corps
They are of the belief it is a bad thing for some reason
Also, teachers would be required by law to use a childs pronouns and name they were given at birth
Lemona, Xerimerc
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a

Many LGBTQIA+ names were given this way, hope it helps next time you get mad at gay people for stealing a word! :)
Lemona, Xerimerc

Xerimerc

Sicario Mercenary Corps, Xerimerc
Why are you always better at explaining things to villa than me
Lemona, Sicario Mercenary Corps
Wow.
Someone asks you out you say no and they ask why
You say "well I'm gay"
Then the teacher gives you a detention for three weeks.
Lemona, Sicario Mercenary Corps, Xerimerc
You just get angry often
Xerimerc
Americans of which country.
USA yes I agree we bring guns to school.
Lemona, Sicario Mercenary Corps, Xerimerc
Well school shooters do.
USA Americans eat burgers not actual food and will invade you for oil.
Lemona, Sicario Mercenary Corps, Xerimerc
Don't get me wrong I love a burger but we need to learn how good a salad is.
Lemona, Sicario Mercenary Corps, Xerimerc
yeah
Im American
Sicario Mercenary Corps, Xerimerc
Obesity is bad but theres something called a stereotype
Sicario Mercenary Corps, Xerimerc
Which country there are two continents that are american
Your probably from US but still.
Lemona, Xerimerc
I am American too, but did ya know britain has a higher obesity rate than most US states!
Lemona, Xerimerc
But it is sad how often you will see this stereotype is true.
Lemona, Xerimerc
Nah that is bad dental hygiene
Lemona, Sicario Mercenary Corps, Xerimerc
But the overall obesity rate-
Lemona, Sicario Mercenary Corps
Oh nvm britain is now 63% us is 69%(nice)
Lemona, Xerimerc
We also are overall happier
Lemona, Xerimerc
I have gone to the U.K. and you see someone smile you see bout 7 crooked teeth.
Lemona, Xerimerc
Because we have not died to the commies.
Lemona, Xerimerc
WHY IS IT SO COLD TODAY
LITERALLY AS SOON AS I STARTED WORK ON ANOTHER TANK TOP WITH SPIKES IN THE SHOULDERS
Lemona, Xerimerc
This has little to no correlation as britain is not communist
Lemona, Xerimerc
Sounds like an American.
I still don't like that USA people are americans and not United Statians.
Lemona, Sicario Mercenary Corps, Xerimerc
There are two continents
But usually American means US
someone from Canada wouldnt call themselves american for the most part
theres
Argentinian
Guatemalan
Mexican
Brazilian
Canadian
Costa Rican
Dominican
Cuban
Jamaican
Nicaraguan
Panamanians
Peruvians
Chileans
And much more
But the only one who is American?
USA
Sicario Mercenary Corps, Xerimerc
I know but most americans are happy that communists are rare now was there not a spike in happiness after the USSR dissolved?
Xerimerc
United Statians is what people did not want to be called
So American was chosen
Its much better
Xerimerc
Isn't that also a stereotype
Lemona
We should be United Statians.
Lemona
Most Americans typically go by their state with other Americans (for example if someone asks me where Im from Id say Im North Carolinian), but no one outside the US knows crap about American states
