I Just Heard the Gayest Song on Earth!

Heh! Got the attention of all the Anal Cunt fans! Which should be everybody! Anyway here's my theory about the oft-controversial 'g' word! See, people always refer to stuff as 'gay', but they don't usually refer to things with actual homosexual content as 'gay'. I.E., you always hear "Eminem/James Hetfield/The Rock is a fag", etc., but not "Elton John is so gay." Perhaps 'gay'-as-insult means 'in the closet', i.e. being a 'fake' and not admitting one's true nature! ('Authenticity' big in US crit discussion). I.e. 'Metallica is gay', when coming from 15-yr-old = 'Metallica sold themselves as a metal band but they're really corporate sellouts' etc. (Now you and I are smart people who know not to care about such things but the people who use these epithets most are teenagers, who ALWAYS have big issues about who or what is 'real' [i.e., "I'm lost, I need a role model/idol etc" Remember?], and are notoriously thin-skinned when it comes to being 'betrayed' or conned (see every hardcore lyric ever written), so I think perhaps pronouncing somebody 'gay' just means 'they AREN'T who I thought they were and anyway they lied about it'! Like, I know some queers and if you refer to, say, the Hives as being 'gay' they don't mind, but if I was to say "That fag from Pop Idol" then things would get harsh, see the difference? Cuz he's out of the closet, so I'd be something for PURELY malicious reasons, right? (As opposed to being malicious for other reasons!) (Admittedly the germ of this idea came from the 'Synanon' seq. in 'Scanner Darkly')
