Listening to Vermillion Lies' Wednesday's Child again and realised the lyrics and tone sung would lead one to think the last line of Monday's Child refers to Sunday's Child being 'gay' instead of gay. I don't quite know when, where or why a lovely short word for happy became synonymous being of homosexual persuasion but I rather wish it hadn't. Can't stop 'progress' though and now we are stuck with Gay when I imagine that for many there is little happieness for them and more persecution than acceptance.
Strange to be writing this because the older I get the less tolerant I become and more agreeable to a mentality of known-but-unseen. I was born in the wrong decade. Should have been 1940's instead of 1960's.
wishful thinking,
this strange affect upon me
