User blog comment:Pary16/America also announced gay?? o.o (NOT OFFICIAL YET)/@comment-2106344-20100818171134

ok...you know something...if Himaruya-sensei was stating America's sexuality as gay, wouldn't he have used the word, or the Japanese equivalent for it? the kanji for homosexual is "同性愛" or using "ゲイ" or "ホモ" (going by the Japanese wikipedia)and NONE...NONE of these are found in the text...I mean, yes there is a low chance that "陽気でノリ" means gay, but if you look at the translator, it has no idea what "ノリ" means...it translates it as nori(and I'm pretty sure that nori has a meaning...)

also..."陽気" means GAIETY/CHEERFULNESS...gaiety doesn't mean gay these are two different things...

I would try to translate that line, but I don't know what "ノリ" means either, and I can't find an English site that knows >___<;;; (and no...I won't/can't try to translate it without that word, being that it's one of the main subjects in the sentence)
