          Not gonna lie, Pete BUTTigieg does sound like a stereotypical gay character in an 80s sitcom.

      In October 2004, it was reported that the Horniman Museum in London was failing to receive some of its email because filters mistakenly treated its name as a version of the words horny man.

      There are a lot of gems in the article.

    This reminds me of the recent removal of the Enola Gay in US government history archives because LGBT+ is DEI.

    Forgetting that gay not only has multiple meanings, but only predominately referred to homosexuality in the 1980s.

    I remember looking it up as a kid. 1970s era dictionaries did not include the present definition.

    Where I live, there used to be an Officer Gay in our police. He retired a while ago, but just imagine the possibilities. There was graffiti. Soo much graffiti.

    Like, this was a legitimate word, once, used for names and such.

    Fun fact, Google, Google Maps and Wikipedia all existed in 2010. All they had to do was spend an entire 10 seconds, less than the time it took to suspend the account, to find out it was a genuine location.

      And when it was appealed you would think the first thing the reviewer would do is search the net. Wild that it even got that far.

    A lot of events like this not this one but a lot boil down to English centrism like that Shiitake issue or the Quebec website who went by the acronym cum.
