How many people think the word “gay” is used out of context?

*******FIRST*******. read this:

1. I, MYSELF, am gay.

2. i use this word in/out of the “right” and “wrong” context:

i can say “your jacket is stupid… or… your jacket is really gay… “He put 30 inch rims on his Nissan. That’s gay”…but i don’t mean it in a homosexual sense.

i can say “he (or she) is gay. they like their own genders.”

Now, ppl have had a problem with me using that word– “out of context” (the first statement). just see my question about Yahoo’s OMG! thingy.

now i’m asking you. is the word “gay” used out of context sometimes? Is it wrong?

remember: words CAN take new meanings with trends, ppl, opinions, and such. no doubt that “gay” is one of those words.

REGARDLESS. i will use the word “gay” as i please. no matter. just want to know what you all have to say…

i might write some more “crap”– another one of those words– as time and ppl pass. so check back if you really care.
