It still means- lighthearted and carefree and used in context of cheerfulness or pleasure.
And of course, it equates to homosexuality.
In the trailer of the upcoming Universal film THE DILEMMA, the lead character played by Vince Vaughn uses 'gay' to describe a car. Vaughn did preface his use of 'gay' by saying he didn't mean homosexual, yet the word wasn't really necessary.
Anderson Cooper who is reportedly gay was taken aback when he saw the trailer of the film during his appearance on The Ellen Show.
Therefore, the trailer is being edited to remove the 'gay' scene. And apparently the scene will not be in the film when it's scheduled to open on January 14th.
Ron Howard is the director and Opie sure loves to cast his brother Clint in films...
As a kid, I still remember the theme song to The Flintstones- "we'll have a gay old time."
Why don't we use the word in that context anymore?
