Usurping the traditional term GAY to take the homosexual meaning out and leaving in the lame.

a derivation of gay meaning lame. meant to be non-offensive to individuals of a homosexual persuasion.

a way to take the guilt out of offending homosexuals by calling something unfavorable gay.

since verbally, the new spelling is virtually unnoticeable, this rationale is rendered a waste of time, but as mentioned, it serves its purpose in the mind of the homophobe-in-denial.

It means the same as "gay." This term began as a way to get around videogame servers and other profanity filters. Gay is blocked, but "ghey" is just fine.

postmodern redevelopment of the word "gay" - it now implies all the formerly offensive stereotypes of uselessness / weakness then associated with effeminate homosexual men in 1970's sitcoms, whilst carrying with it no actual implied sexuality connotations.

Like 'A VERY SMART PERSON' stated back in 2003, "ghey" is a different spelling of "gay" that idiots thought up and pretend that it's less derogatory when in fact, they are WRONG. Changing the spelling of a slur does NOT make it any less offensive!

An excuse for using the term "Gay" in a negative way, without seeming to be offensive. However, changing the spelling of the word doesn't change how offensive it can still be to homosexuals.
