Around a quarter million readers have e-mailed in to tell me that the usage

of “gay” that I remarked on was current among teens and pre-teens at least

as far back as the late 1970s. Thanks to all. Truly, there is nothing new

under the sun. Truly, I am hopelessly out of touch with teen culture. It’s

nice to know, though, that NRO has such a firm grip on the 30-something

demographic.
