From the John Steinbeck novel East of Eden:

I remember that the Gabilan Mountains to the east of the valley were light gay mountains full of sun and loveliness and a kind of invitation so that you want to climb into their warm foothills almost as you want to climb into the lap of a beloved mother.

John Steinbeck East of Eden

When you come across writing like this it make you wonder how the homosexuals were able to take a beautiful and cheerful word such as gay and use it to describe themselves. What really is so happy and beautiful about the word gay nowadays?

The word gay is now a repulsive and sick thing. Don't you think we should take it back so it can be used as it originally was intended?

Sure, it's a nice word. Gaiety is good too. But, like so much of our culture, it has been turned from a garden into a mudhole by the stomping of disorderly and untrammeled feet.

We can take it back by calling fags queers.
