I feel like we've grown past "that's gay" being a blanket insult. Especially with me and my friends eyes, race and orientation are hardly a foot note. I'd like to imagine as a society we've hit that point were gay no longer has negative connotation. Even your comment has this internalized expectation/fear for some bully straight police to come around.
So I don't say this with any malice, is this not kinda gay? Especially that last one...
To be absolutely honest I believe any good same-sex friendship has a tiny bit of "gayness" just due to the fact that you enjoy spending time with this another human because you like them and are happy to see them doing well. Kinda gay if you ask me (and I'm all for it, gotta love my friends and seeing them always brings a smile to my heart).
Something being kinda gay or not is just a way we use to try to categorize natural reactions that fall into a spectrum (as most things do).
Also sadly some people still use gay as an insult but it's a dying rot, and the new generations are being born in a world where being who they are honestly is a possibility and that they aren't alone in this, even if the governments try to say different there's people out there helping.
