Is this an actual PSA? I mean, are there sensible people out there who still need to be told this? Even worse, our government is blowing money on this sort of thing?
I mean, yeah, it's nice that they're doing this sort of thing, but it's well past the time that people should know better and it doesn't seem like a wise investment. Plus it just continues to make PSAs seem even more like a parent. What's next: "It's going to get cold later, you should really take a jacket"?
I don't know, it seems like the use of the term "gay" has become more of an ironic reference to the era when "gay" was used to describe happy (the first half of the 20th Century?), inferring cheesiness. At least that's how I feel the urge to use it, unless I feel like I should be more PC in certain people's presence.
porkbun on SFist Out and About: That's hardly a new thing. Merriam-Webster puts it as "circa 1842" http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/swank Main Entry: 3swank...

If the Ad Council did this ad, it might not be the feds to paid for it.
"who" not "to"
Come on, even gay people use it that way, and some of them use it to mean actually gay. its like ghetto as a descriptor.
Methinks this PSA is really an undercover rallying cry to people who think gay people are getting *special* rights.
gay used to mean happy. It's our word to use as we please. Don't be gay!
blend, i was given a similar warning in berkeley when i referred to something as "ghetto."
anyways, lol.
