Velvet-Club Connecting Lesbians & Bi-women around the World

The Gay Word is a documentary about the recent trend of saying the word gay negatively to mean rubbish, uncool, or embarrassing. Amy Ashenden travels around England to find out why some people have started to say 'eurgh that's gay'. Is it homophobic or has language evolved? Amy Ashenden asks gay and straight people, young and old, why it makes certain people deeply offended and others less phased. At Stonewalls HQ in the city centre of London, Amy speaks to the largest gay rights organisation in Europe, which is campaigning against the word gay being used negatively, and travels to meet the university academic who claims its harmless. She also speaks to teachers, parents, a LGBT+ activist, a transgender male, and young people still in school to find out where the trend of saying thats so gay negatively comes from, and whether we should rethink our use of language.
