OK, you say technically, so here is technically:

gay
adj. gay·er, gay·est
Of, relating to, or having a sexual orientation to persons of the same sex.
Showing or characterized by cheerfulness and lighthearted excitement; merry.
Bright or lively, especially in color: a gay, sunny room.
Given to social pleasures.
Dissolute; licentious.

So we see that yes, one out of four meanings of the word "gay" as an adjective deals with sexuality. I really cannot judge what meaning he is trying to convey by the context, so I choose the following:



Details (Note - Times are listed in Greenwich Mean Time, GMT):
1/20/2006 3:14 Bandwagon General - Thousand Needles "shield is Bright or lively, especially in color, all it

Tell them the shield is not yourself nor a player. Gay was a label you placed on an item and from your understanding you can't harass an item. You should also simply apologize and say the use of that word will not be uttered again while you play the game if they deem it inappropriate. However you feel you were not breaking any current rules.

If you cant read the TOC thats your own issue.

If your too ignorant to not type such things, that is also your issue.

If your too stupid to type any offensive material what-so-ever into general chat, gg, that also your issue.

Shit man.

Looks like your action packed with issues.

How gay is that? What a bunch of Harley riders. Gay used to mean happy, and now it means lame. Gay people need to get over it.
