So if you aren't in favour of the meaning of words changing do you declare 'I'm gay' when you're happy?

Edited to add - This is pure nitpicking. Same as the Winston threads. Can't be arsed. Sorry about that.

Actually I do sometimes describe things and myself as gay to mean happy. Why should such a positive word be hijacked for purely political reasons.

It isn't nitpicking. Language is very important.

If we were to take your very simplistic view on language, then using words like the N word would not be punishable by law.
