    People who thought this was real - don’t feel bad, it’s a reference to Florida’s REAL “Don’t Say Gay” law, enacted in 2023, that bans the word from public schools.

      It’s not as common now but I’ve met somebody who’s first name is Gay.

      Who’s that guy over there? Well that’s Homosexual Smith; the heterosexual.

        huge fan of the practice TV series, one of the starring roles was LisaGay Hamilton. used to be credited as Lisa Gay Hamilton but I don’t know if she changed it, is stylizing it or if it was inconsistent crediting as is usually the case but currently it’s LisaGay single word in most resources.

        I knew a woman whose first name was Gay but she always went by her middle name.

        Actually Homosexual Smith sounds like a famous frontiersman or maybe an Old West preacher.
