Maybe ‘that’s so gay’ is actually ok for young people to say. Call me an old fart, but I’m going to have to vote “no.”
So someone named “Nash Grier” has almost 9 million Vine followers, and he’s apparently loved by tween girls everywhere because of his dreamy blue eyes (or at least, that’s what I learned spending ten seconds on his twitter feed).
