GAY, BUT NOT HAPPY

Today, I will be g the term ‘gay’ both s origal form and s ntemporary form, so let me fe both ways for you this morng. Origally, GAY meant: to be characterized by lorful and lighthearted excement: , “Have a GAY day!

” In the old days, wishg your neighbor a gay day would have meant you were hopg their day was happy, lighthearted and, however, wishg someone a gay day might turn an eyebrow or two…Today, the term GAY is almost never ed to mean “happy” or “merry. ” No way would anyone walk up to a crowd of people and say, “Don’t you look gay crowd today! ” If you do, you might get you a beat, the word GAY refers to the sexual orientatn of a person or group of prevailg fn is: Havg a sexual orientatn to persons of the same the dictnary, thors have stated that orr to keep a homosexual person om beg offend, you should refer to him or her as a GAY person, and that the choice of the word GAY is to imply their state of attu toward the liftyle they are livg.

So the claim is that homosexuals are GAY (happy) bee they are GAY (homosexual) that said, this sermon is as much for gays (homosexuals) as is for gay (happy) people…However, the two fns of GAY: both the origal and the ntemporary are like oil and water. Eher a man is gay, or he is happy, but is impossible for a man or woman to be both gay and happy at the same, before I go any further, I want everyone listeng to unrstand that J lov you, and He lov you more than you n possibly image. Was jt a cince that the word gay took on 's morn fn or was there some implitn that homosexual people are happier than heterosexual people?

'PASSAG' DIRECTOR NOUNC 'DANGERO' NC-17 RATG ON A FILM PICTG A GAY LOVE STORY

Adam* said was dangero to e out as gay his home untry and feared beg forced to an arranged marriage wh a said he was "so lucky" to wed his soulmate, Ray, Manchter and wish everyone uld marry who they love. There are more than 60 untri wh laws that crimalise same-sex sexual acts acrdg to the Internatnal Lbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Associatn, cludg Sdi Arabia.

OPN: IT’S NOT EASY BEG GAY

'Authentilly myself'Ray said he had also stggled growg up gay the 1970s and 80s England, which was "tough" said his relig school "dmmed to you, 'you are gog to hell'" Adam returned home to Sdi Arabia, spe beg more than 3, 000 apart and later rtricted by the Covid-19 panmic, they kept touch daily and the romance years ago, Ray proposed on a vio ll and after succsfully applyg for a UK fiancé visa, Adam moved to Manchter December 2022.

He’s Barbie’s gay bt iend.Dpe Mattel’s sistence that Barbie and Ken are a happy romantic relatnship, there’s plenty of speculatn about Ken’s sexualy.

The film won’t say , but a post-creds punchle about Ken’s handwrg, plete wh hearts and stars surroundg his name, tells what we need to know.The heavily implied nature of Ken’s gayns Toy Story 3 harkens back to Hollywood’s tradnal gay bt iend-type characters. In the Hays Co era, explic referenc to homosexualy weren’t allowed, so characters like Van Buren (Frankl Pangborn) 1937’s Easy Livg, Kip (David Wayne) 1949’s Adam’s Rib, or Addison (Gee Sanrs) 1950’s All About Eve stead were imbued wh effemate characteristics, offerg a glimpse outsi of heteronormativy whout explicly beg queer.None of the characters were the same—some were tty, others sweet. Des later, 2010, the gay bt iend was all the rage; Teen Vogue even went so far as to proclaim the GBF as the summer’s mt-have accsory.

FERAL COURT BACKS STUNTS’ ‘BE HAPPY, NOT GAY’ SHIRTS

But unlike the first half of the 20th century, today’s cema, the GBF is allowed to be openly gay. In movi like Mean Girls (2004), The Devil Wears Prada (2006), Easy A (2010), No Strgs Attached (2011), and Isn’t It Romantic (2019), gay iends exist entirely the orb of their female iends. “No one!” But Barbie do, and for Ken, that’s life-changg.There are plenty of reasons why the film wouldn’t outrightly state that Ken is homosexual.

This versn of the doll had bleached blon hair, a purple leather vt (!), a pk-purple mh top (!!), and of urse, and earrg the “gay ear”.

But that’s not all: Around Ken’s neck was somethg that any active participant of the queer scene the ’90s regnized stantly—a ck rg (!!!).The Earrg Magic Ken turned Barbie’s boyiend to an out-and-proud homosexual raver.

APPEALS URT UPHOLDS STUNTS' RIGHT TO WEAR ‘BE HAPPY, NOT GAY’ SHIRTS

Mattel, of urse, vehemently nied any claims that Ken was gay, let alone that he had somethg as prepostero as a ck rg around his neck.

As a rult, gay men bought the doll drov, and spe Mattel ultimately rellg the doll and wipg away any trace of Earrg Magic Ken, was near-impossible to see Ken as anythg but the glor homosexual he was born to be om then on.

Though Mattel don’t seem to be willg to say Ken is actually gay, the Ken dolls of recent years seem to really lean to Ken’s queerns.

GAY (HOMOSEXUAL) AND GAY (HAPPY)

While there is no way to “drs gay,” there are several dolls that seem to suggt otherwise, such as:Fashnista Ken #193, who looks very exced to tell you about his new obssn, Troye Sivan;Travel Ken Doll, who has a satchel perfect for bathho and a purple overnight bag that lerally proclaims he’s “extra;”Ken Looks Doll, servg “I’m gonna give you a makeover”-type realns while sportg black pleather pants;This Ken, who wears the least heterosexual double nim imagable.While I have a feelg the new Barbie movie will put the work to nvce that Ken is a hetero du who lov nothg life more than Barbie herself, the wrg’s already on the wall: Ken is, and always will be, Barbie’s gay bt iend.Keep obssg! For about a year after g out, Nassib was very guard about his private life and beg gay, givg very few terviews bis some Q&A wh beat reporters. What once seemed nceivable — a gay NFL player celebratg his boyiend’s birthday — is now nsired cute and enarg, as wnsed by the 56, 000 lik Nassib’s Instagram post got, along wh hundreds of ments.

In this big, betiful, ever-changg blue marble we ll home, ’s not easy to be gay, nohels gay and happy. In the US, beg gay was nsired a mental illns until 1973, and so many namels, unnumbered fac were subjected to horrors I uld never image 2022. In 1952, jt 4 years before my father was born, he was prosecuted for homosexual acts the Uned Kgdom, and his punishment: chemil stratn.

”) After some very unfortable nversatns, one cludg my stepfather g his personal prejudice toward gay men and monstratg, wh an visible person and extreme disgt on his face, how gay men have sex, I agreed to go to unselg.

WHO ARE THE HAPPIT? STRAIGHTS AND GAYS, BUT NOT BISEXUALS

Luckily, the one I was sent to was a seri of therapy ssns to fd my “root” (aka the “e” of me beg gay. ) I was told, through their very narrow pot of view, how to pull up the root of my gayns and bee the “person God wants me to be” through prayer, self-reflectn, and prsure om home and church. The therapist told me the root of me beg gay was growg up wh an absentee father who was ashamed of his artistic, non-athletic son who was nothg like him and that the lack of male/fatherly love is what drove me to seek om men.
