* ''WesternAnimation/TheChipmunkAdventure'' contains a musical number by The Chipettes called "Get Lucky". It is likely about asking someone on a date instead of being an IntercourseWithYou song.











































to:

* Creator/ABCFamily cut the song "Give Your Heart a Try" from the Rankin/Bass animated version of '''WesternAnimation/TwasTheNightBeforeChristmas'' because of the use of the word "gay" in the lyrics.




























to:

* {{Lampshaded}} in the Christmas special ''WesternAnimation/HowMurraySavedChristmas'' when Murray Weiner performs the final musical number:
-->'''Murray''' [glumly]: My life was empty and at an end, I could make a sandwich, but I couldn't make a friend,\\
But thanks to this guy, I'm filled with glee, His best invention was a whole new me. [the song changes to a happy mood]\\
'''Murray''': Now I'm happy and gay,\\
'''Edison''': When?\\
'''Murray''': On Christmas day, Yes, I'm ever so gay,\\
'''Edison''': When?\\
'''Murray''': On Christmas day; I'm incredibly gay, gay as the month of May, Gay, gay, gay, gay, I'm so gay!\\
[[{{Beat}} [''The crowd looks at Murray with astonishment''] ]]\\
'''Murray''' [''nervously resumes his song'']: [[ThatCameOutWrong I don't mean in that way, that way is okay,]] What I'm trying to say— [[DontExplainTheJoke Oh forget it, oy vey!]]

** ''Film/ADayAtTheRaces'' has Groucho telling the female lead, "For you, I'd [[InterspeciesRomance make love to a crocodile]]." [[note]]At the time this movie was made (1937) ''make love'' was ''also'' being used in its modern, physical, sense — and Groucho was not shy about his language.[[/note]]

* In ''{{Film/Belle}}'', much is made of Elizabeth "coming out" and Dido ''not'' "coming out." It did not mean "to announce one's sexual orientation" as it does today: "coming out" meant that one was officially on the marriage market and was looking for suitors.

* A movie poster for the 1956 film adaptation of Creator/GeorgeOrwell's ''1984'' rhetorically asked "Will ecstasy be a crime?" They obviously meant "happiness," but anyone who came of age in the 1990s or later is bound to [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs think otherwise]].
