I'm unable to even follow these. Though I should point out that he etymology of the word 'gay' makes it close to the word 'flamboyant' but was also on occasion to mean the same thing as 'sissy girl man' or 'emasculate'. And was originally used as an insult towards the gay community before the gay community decided for some unknown reason to have a 'word claiming' campaign where they decided to claim the word 'gay'. Not an uncommon occurrence. It only partially worked. Only relatively recently has the word 'gay' started to lose its real meaning and became a term for a general insult. Though its still often used to mean 'emasculate', especially by comedians, especially, especially by gay comedians.

E.G. "You should have seen these dude's tie! Man, here I thought I was gay!" *Rimshot*

So are you absolutely sure these people on these games of yours aren't just gay comedians?
