Please explain to me how "spokes are gay" translates to a fear of homosexuals?
Gay is a word (a noun or an adjective) that primarily refers to a homosexual person. The term was originally used to refer to feelings of being "carefree", "happy", or "bright and showy"; it had also come to acquire some connotations of "immorality" as early as 1637.
There you go. I'm not scared of homosexuals nor used the term "gay" as a pejorative. But those spokes are immoral.
Since you're discussing it here as well as pming me about it I'll add my 2 cents.
Gay = homosexual.
Saying that something that you think is bad, abnormal or you don't approve of is gay = you think homosexuals/homosexuality is bad, abnormal you don't approve etc.
You might not be scared of homosexuals but using the word gay as you did (and thinking it's anything other than pejorative) shows how ignorant you are.
