wow. you guys are a hoot. the op asks about clothes and we're off and running about the definition of gay. fwiw, i first heard my students say "gay" to mean lame and i had to ask them to define the meaning for me. words and their meanings change and evolve, we may not like it, we may be confused by it, but so be it. no one individually makes the rules, unless you're webster- and i do believe he's dead.

me, i wear cotton and wool. and filson work boots. to each his own, they're only clothes.
