Michael: In the English-speaking world, "gay" is not used that way.
A more correct word (given the definitions you've provided -- and assuming one wishes to stereotype a whole nation) would be "weird." However, I don't think that, in the context of these discussions, such characterizations are appropriate anyway. Is there any possibility you could elevate your discourse to a more adult level?
