Gay can also be used as a compliment.
It is epitomised in the dire TV programme 'Queer Eye for the Straight Guy' where homosexual guys make fat straight blokes look presentable, but the notion that gay folk are better groomed and better with colours was initially hinted at on programs such as Changing Rooms and since has progressed to the stage where to be a male on an interior decor program you literally have to be a homosexual.
Recently I overheard the missus say to her friend on the telephone that I'd bought her a great outfit and that in general my taste in clothes for her is only bettered by her friend Alun - who is gay.
So my choosing an outfit being likened to a gay person's choice in clothing was a compliment, no?
