No -- actually it was just a typo. I meant to write 'the' but was writing on a cell phone with a tiny screen. Sorry for the confusion. 
On the other hand, I rather like the suggestion that heterosexuals might want to start using a different term for homosexuals than the word 'gay'. Gay was once a mainstream word that meant (approximately) 'having a lovely time' or 'youthful-and-having-fun' -- (i.e. "Our Hearts Were Young and Gay" -- a rather silly short-story circa 1942 would certainly  not have the same meaning today.) So yes, I feel that 'heteros' have every right to reclaim the word 'gay'. It always seemed a very inaccurate word to use for 'men-sexually-attracted to other men'.
