'''Gay''' was [[slang]], at least in the [[20th century|20th]] and [[21st century|21st centuries]] on [[Earth]], for [[homosexuality]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Let's Kill Hitler (TV story)|Let's Kill Hitler]]'') It was, in some ways, synonymous with [[queer]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Damaged Goods (novel)|Damaged Goods]]'', ''[[Beyond the Sun (novel)|Beyond the Sun]]'') In this sense, it was not necessarily a [[pejorative]], but merely a statement of [[sexual orientation]]. Other cases, however, may present it as a word also expressive of feelings of merriment. | |||
However, it was also used as a clear insult, meaning "weak" or "ridiculous". [[Rose Tyler]], for instance, once claimed that the [[Ninth Doctor]] was "so gay" for complaining about the [[pain]] of being slapped in the face by her mother [[Jackie Tyler]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Aliens of London (TV story)|Aliens of London]]'') | |||
While reading an edition of ''[[Heat (magazine)|Heat]]'', the [[Ninth Doctor]] read an article about a [[celebrity]] [[couple]]. He remarked that it wouldn't last, since "[[Gay man (Rose)|he]]'s gay and [[Alien (Rose)|she]]'s an [[alien]]." ([[TV]]: ''[[Rose (TV story)|Rose]]'') | |||
[[Raoul]] often spent [[Saturday]] nights in [[Peterborough]], going into gay [[club]]s and [[pub]]s, looking for people who would be willing to be part of the audience for ''[[Glamorama]]''. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Hospitality (short story)|Hospitality]]'') | |||
Whilst talking to [[Lorna Bucket]] the [[Fat One]] said "We're the thin fat gay married Anglican marines, why would we need names as well?" Referring to himself and his husband, the [[Thin One]]. ([[TV]]: [[A Good Man Goes to War (TV story)|A Good Man Goes to War]]) | |||
