Explain SMBC — the wiki for Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal

This comic proposes reclaiming the word "gay" by giving it a new, hyper-positive definition: "As awesome as two people who are experts on penises having sex without fear of pregnancy." The joke redefines "gay" as a superlative compliment rather than a slur.

The three example usages demonstrate the new definition in action. A child marvels at a spaceship saying "Spaceships are so gay..." (meaning incredibly awesome). Two women at a cafe discuss Faulkner, with one saying "His writing is incredibly gay" (meaning extraordinarily good). The third example is a man in bed saying "That gay sex was gay!" -- which is funny because it uses the new positive definition alongside the word's original meaning, creating a tautological loop. The comic takes a progressive stance on reclaiming language while finding humor in the logical consequences of the proposed redefinition.
