You have my apologies, in that case. It was no way intended to be rude or insinuative; it was just meant as a play on the title of the story within the quest itself and then a comment about evaluating the word's value or lack thereof in-game. I'll edit my comment a bit to make it a little more clear that I'm not trying to be rude, just... confused as to why you'd be so disquieted by the mention of the word gay in this context.

A lot of words can have connotations that drastically change how they're perceived, but I'd think that maturity can trump discomfort in cases like these. Even the connotation that "gay" meant something else a hundred years ago makes us immediately assume, regardless of the word's connotations in Eorzea, that this story took place a while back. I think that's part of the point.

Compared to NPCs telling me things like that they'll "hang me from the front of their ship by my manhood," or that certain enemies have "dropped bigger turds than [a lalafell]," - even if this wasn't a completely innocent context - I just don't see it as controversial in the least.
