the kids seem to be using it to describe things that have nothing to do with homosexuality or good humor. I just read a a question from someone who wants to post a picture "because those avatar things are gay."

In that sense it just means "bad" or "lame." It still means homosexual and it evolved from the idea that a homosexual was the worst thing you could tell a teenage guy he was, but it has been over used to the point where it's lost any serious meaning. Most kids are desensitized to it now and wouldn't think twice about saying "that movie was gay," in front of a homosexual or even right to his face.

The word gay are for those men who wants to be girls and this word is more recent than the word homosexual. On the other hand, the word homosexual has been used many times in the bible and it means changing their natural ways to unnatural like men changing their natutal ways to become women and likewise for women becoming like men.
With todays fast technology and very vast source of knowledge, our children have already adapted different languages and terminologies that we parents can't even understand. So we have to cope up also with the time for us to understand thier terminologies. We can't blame those kids because look at all those avatars and animations. It is sometimes difficult to tell whether they are girls or boys. Even in our clothings, it says "unisex." What do you think.

Some say 'That's so gay!" referring to something that is weak or pathetic. This is quite distinct from a homosexual reference. ( I think)

Today kids say "That's so gay" to show something they disapprove of, something they don't like. It's like saying "I got Gypped" to mean you were cheated or "I got Jewed." It's discriminatory.
Gay still means homosexual.

Yep, now people are starting to use the term to describe anything that is silly, stupid or otherwise ridiculous. I guess they're too lazy to think up any real adjectives for what they are trying to insult.

When they say gay they are reffering to something that they think a gay man would do or be involced with, they think it is wrong.
