Re: so gay?

It's used by my nieces (aged 7 and 12) and the kids at their school. It's a perjorative term meaning cissy, pathetic, wussy, clearly taken from the stereotype of homosexual men being overly camp and effeminate.

I picked my brother up on it but he didn't see much wrong. I asked him what he thought the gay kids in my niece;'s class would feel like, as if they weren't gonna be scared and confused enough already. He said he didn't think such kids would know they were gay yet.

This came in the same conversation that he'd talked about my niece and her classmates having boyfriends. It seems heterosexuality is normal, but homosexuality is some sort of aberration that comes later.
