BTW- gay is not a synonym for strange, it is usually a synonym for lame, or queer in a really lame way. Like someone who is bad at sports, coming up to bat, and swinging the bat ineffectually- you could say "Look at the gay way he swings the bat". OR you see a person dressed funny, you can see "That's GAY". It doesn't really mean strange.

I have lately noticed the same usage of the word "gay" among male teenagers. It must be a bit difficult for boys whose sexuality is leaning toward homosexuality to hear and deal with on a day-to-day basis.

As for the rest of your posting: Ditto!
