It is a shame when perfectly good words which were used freely in the past are now considered to carry offensive overtones. In Australia there is a much loved icecream called Golden Gaytime which dates back to early last century. Now we find that certain oversensitive people want the name changed. I maintain that gay is a word used over many centuries to denote happiness and only recently has it been given sexual connotations. Maybe people who don't like the icecream name should find a new name for their group other than gay. This is all becoming ridiculous and it is time some of us said leave our language alone.
Let's assume that this is serious. What would be wrong with an ice cream apparently celebrating homosexuality?
From what I gather, there's a petition by one gay man who's managed to get around 1000 signatures. Most LGBTQ+ people don't seem to agree with him bit I have no dog in the fight as I'm cishet.
*cackle* the Gaytime ( morphed into subtypes Golden and chocolate about 1964) is already widely celebrated in the Aussie gay community and has been these many years....
