What I was trying to say, dispite my mistake in posting an empty article, was that the word GAY for homosexual dates from the 19th century; cf. Farmer and Henly, A dictionary of SLang and its Analogues. As for the Olympics, my favorite so far has been Mike Tully, the pole vaulter who got a silver a few days ago. He had a quiet determination as well as a great, lanky, tall body. He's also red headed, and I love that. In general, I prefer fun postings to dealing with all that idiotic homophobia.
