Farmer Turned Down By Government Because of His “Offensive” Address
September 16, 2020 emmanuel   

Georgia cattle farmer Gene King has always been someone who likes to get things done. Of course, he thought he had dotted all of his i’s and crossed all of his t’s when he applied for a special opportunity from Uncle Sam. However, unfortunately, things didn’t go well with his application for one very odd reason: you see, Mr. King has an address that the federal government deems to be too offensive for him to get his special permit. You see, Mr. King wasn’t initially able to get a special interstate transport license because his town made the individual reviewing the application blush and they slapped down the reject stamp.

You see, Gene King is a proud resident of Gay, Georgia. And no, the name doesn’t mean what you think it means. Frankly, that’s probably why Mr. King doesn’t have a problem with living in Gay and doesn’t think you need to have a problem either living in it or visiting it either.

It should do the same for the name "Clinton," too. :pondering:

The main street through the middle of downtown Knoxville TN is named "Gay Street."
The two block section where the city built awnings over the sidewalk is called "the Gayway."
Long ago, the word "gay" simply meant "happy."
Sexuality never occurred to people when they saw the word "gay."
