Same sex-marriage of the year listing -Story and Photo 2.3
The phrase "That's so Gay".and Hillary Duff .
A somewhat less obvious (and lower wattage) example? Look no further than ...
Hilary Duff's "That's So Gay" PSA: OK, Hilary Duff is no George Clooney, but she does have quite the hard-core OMG! fan base. So, when she decided to take on the toxic topic of "gay" as a slur, tween (and other) eyebrows were raised. Although calling something "gay" as a synonym for "lame" (or worse) has long been the slur of choice for middle- and high-schoolers, Duff took it on. She appeared in a public service announcement (PSA), created in partnership with the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), called "That's So Gay," which includes Duff overhearing and chastising two valleyesque teens in a clothing shop skit for using "that's so gay" as a put-down. Reaction, at least in the blogosphere, has been mixed (comments range from, "It's about time!" to, you guessed it, "That video is 'gay!'"). The bigger issue: When was the last time a squeaky clean, teen-focused pop star came out in defense of the gay and lesbian communities? Anyone?( By Barbara Card Atkinson ).
