gay, n.All

Gay is a subculture, a pre-packaged, superficial persona-a lifestyle. It's a sexual identity that has almost nothing to do with sexuality.

Gay is not an identification with the psychological traits and the visible masks of the homosexual but an attempt to define and develop a way of life that yield intense relations not resembling those that are institutionalized.

Gay is a sunny word appropriated for other uses as the modem world gave us limited occasion to employ it in its original sense.
