    Guess your friend group lived under a rock lol

    Or just location differences, but was absolutely a normalized thing to say when I grew up. Didn’t mean homosexual or anything, just anything that sucked was “gay”

      “The 40 Year Old Virgin” came out in 2005 and one of the most memorable scenes in my opinion is two guys (Paul Rudd and somebody else) playing video games making gay jokes. “Do you know how I know you’re gay? You like Coldplay.”

      If Hollywood was still doing it in the mid-00’s then you can bet it was still popular in highschools across the USA.
