City councilman faces backlash for sending email alert: "Bryan is gay"

Seriously dumb.

Councilman Matt Staniszewski, of Washington, Pennsylvania, has been reprimanded for sending out an "email alert" through the city's emergency email alert system that said "Alert: This is a test. Bryan is gay."

When Mayor Brenda Davis - who questioned why the councilman even had the codes to send an email on the system - addressed the councilman about the issue, he apparently responded that "gay means happy."

He then went on to admonish the mayor saying "It's offensive and unprofessional for the mayor to automatically assume one definition of the word when there are multiple definitions.”

Riiiiiight. That's really what he meant. And now the Mayor is the one in the wrong?

Not thinking so pal.

Watch Jimmy Kimmel goof on the gay.

Here's a pic of the councilman, who I hear is very gay, which means "very happy" - right?
