The recent revelations that the pro basketball player Jason Collins was gay (/sportsillustrated.cnn.com/magazine/news/20130429/jason-collins-gay-nba-player/) might have prompted a recent discussion among high school students in the pool's locker room.
The general consensus seemed to be that they didn't actually care who was gay or not, but they'd want to know to avoid awkward situations. In their case it ment avoiding asking a lesbian out for date or using the wrong language around a gay kid. They each professed to know someone who was gay and had no problem with him.
I wondered what their use of the term "that's so gay" means. I think they mean something is dopey or uncool. It'll be interesting to see if the phrase is still around or if the meaning changes in the next few years.
On a related note, I finally heard what must be a camp classic: "In Spring a young man's fancy turns to fancy young men."
A random mental walk.
