"The police drive to encourage 1000 extra people start a career in the force got off to a bad start on the weekend when one interested Christchurch man was told by a recruitment officers his scarf was too "gay".
Simon Calcinai, aged 20, was at the Careers Expo at the Westpac Centre in Christchurch on Sunday when two uniformed officers told him the scarf he was wearing was "a bit too gay", The Press reported today."

I would suggest that anyone offended by that is not going to pass muster as a cop. They are sure going to get called a lot worse and won't be getting an apology either!
Better check out the hairdresser's stand at the next careers expo...

School kids routinely use the word "gay" to describe things. I gather it means the same as another word they frequently use, "random". What are they talking about? I've no idea. Neither do they, I suspect.
Once apon a time before it got hijacked, it was a lovely little word meaning happy and carefree.
