But in and of itself it doesn’t make much sense. It’s an absurdly un-insulting insult. “Gay!” they shout, always out of context and dangling dangerously without the anchor of a pronoun. “Gay!” It’s like, duh. Are you trying to tell me something I don’t know? How kind a gesture that would be! Some person with really extreme gaydar just tumbling through the world alerting people to their own sexual orientations. Like a blessing.
