The Declining Significance of Homophobia

“In my study in the United Kingdom, homophobia is condemned and openly gay students have happy and productive school lives…. No LGBT student experienced any overt homophobia at their high schools, and their heterosexual peers argued that homophobia was equivocal to racism” M McCormack 2012 The Declining Significance of Homophobia

That’s So Gay! “My research suggests that the use of this phrase (that’s so gay) is less regular than other research documents…. Boys argued that their pro-gay attitudes prevented it from being interpreted as such. Zak said, “I say it all the time. But I don’t mean anything by it. I've got gay friends” M McCormack 2012

Collins Concise Dictionary Gay (gei) adj 1a homosexual b(as n): a group of gays 2. Carefree and merry: a gay temperament 3. Brightly coloured: brilliant: a gay hat 4. Given to pleasure esp in social entertainment That’s so gay….
