Gay as an insult is often seen as an insult to or by homosexuals. According to some slang dictionaries, the use of the word gay to mean stupid is probably the antonym of the older senses such as happy and attractive, as they suggested that wicked is good. Because of this reason, I think the offensiveness of this insult has been increased overtime. In Canada the use of this pejorative is often legally restricted. Its use has also been harshly criticised by homosexuals.
Like the word lame, many people do not know why people use a medical term as a slang term. The term is often taken to be offensive to or by people who do have a disability. Some style guide advise people not to use this word to mean foolish. MarcoToa1 (talk) 03:48, 22 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

As a noun (He's a gay and Four gays walked in) it can be taken to be offensive. Preferred substitutes are He is gay and Four gay people walked in (Microsoft® Encarta® 2009). JMGN (talk) 21:37, 25 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

I have been editing the Gay page and using this flag for the Gay flag because it's widely more accepted in the community. Can you make an exception and let me add a double image at least with this flag? Dmdjdu(wanna talk?)15:04, 12 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
The gay men's flag can be used as the gay men's flag or simply the gay flag because of gay usually referring to a man. Can we make an exception and at least keep the flag as a double image? Dmdjdu(wanna talk?)10:42, 14 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
A picture is not a reliable source. I question the idea that "gay" usually refers to a man as well, and would like to see sources to substantiate that claim. As for the double image question, I'd have to defer to editors more experienced in handling image usage on Wikipedia. DonIago (talk) 12:57, 14 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
