Are homosexuals happier than heterosexuals or something?

Or is that just how it's to be depicted by media and slang induction?

Subliminal misrepresentation of the philia?

Has this been a plot to control blood lines from the beginning?

It is a self descriptive positive description used to counter past negatives like *** and queer. I am in favour of the word gay and in favour of equality in all things for gays.

Proclaiming that homosexuals are better because they're happier.

I'm ****ing with you.

Now heterosexuals can't even call themselves gay anymore when they're happy.

You of all people should avoid drinking alcohol, especially in excess

Ironically enough, that particular actor, Jim Parsons, happens to be interested only in other members of his gender.

Has this been a plot to control blood lines from the beginning? Interesting question. I googled it to find an interesting answer (courtesy of wikipedia). Basically, the evolution of the word/association went something like this...

Gay: carefree --> hedonist --> loose sexual morals --> homosexual.

Time frame: last few hundred years, with rapid development in the last few decades.

I believe in hedonism, I am hyper-sexually immoral but I'm not homosexual or bisexual.

Would I fall in the gay category? For the word's original meaning, yes I would. However, now, I'll just catch a ton of bullshit for it.

I blame the rednecks for being stigmatic, not the homosexuals for trimming my competition.

Why is it called gay? Because words can mean more than one thing, and/or evolve over time?

Ya know, or that.
