Gay = Weird?
Have you heard people use the term 'that is so gay'. Maybe you have used it yourself?
Gay originally meant happy but now people use it to describe something as weird.
Gay people are just the same as everyone else; however calling someone gay is an insult.
My little brother asked my mum what being gay meant and when she had explained, he said, "So it's like being left-handed."
Is it? Ask yourself.
Yes, it is. Being gay is just the same as having blue eyes, or dark skin, or brown hair.

"Gay" should definitely not be an 'insult'. Being gay is not wrong, not bad and because many people think that, it's even more of a good thing. I looked in the dictionary, and it said that 'gay meaning happy' was dated, so the world has evolved since that.
