Whoever said ydi is a dumbass

that's what you get for not knowing your interviewers name.

that is an unfortunate name. she shouldn't get offended

ahahahahahaha

What a dumb name.

well this is really confusing how can you support her when she's clearly female? just say I'm happy and I've lots of female friends

she could have said hi, my name is gaye. not hi i'm gaye. that would help this prevent this

it's completely her fault. after presumably years of receiving similar responses, one would have thought to rephrase her introduction to, "hi, my name is gaye," or something similar. how the **** is someone supposed to respond to that? also, i do believe that her parents are also partially to blame, considering the use of "gay" as a reference to "homosexual" has been around quite a while. as a surname, it's fine, but you're crossing dangerous territorial waters with this. see the fml where the op called her daughter "mckinley." |the kid|

a simple, "hello, my name is gaye" wouldve worked

My friend's mom's first name is Anita and her middle name is Gaye but all throughout high school she went by Gaye.
