Fort LGBT

The latest from the language police is that 'Gay' is now an offensive word in any context, following an X Box Live Gamer/loser's crime of living in the amusingly-named Fort Gay, West Virginia.

Near where I grew up in Warwickshire, UK, stands the village of Gaydon, always used to raise a chuckle when I was a kid but I now realise the error of my ways in being offensive to an oppressed minority in this way, and for having to stifle it once again when local wags had defaced the village sign of the neighbouring Wellesbourne by painting over the first three, and last four, letters in white paint.

Fortunately the fact that Fort Gay is a real place was confirmed and we can all sleep much more easily now, knowing that no gaybender shirtlifters have anything to be insulted about.

Still, I guess Faggotville, KY will have to have an image change too.
