What if I Didn't Know the Parlance of the Day?

The headline.

“Gay novelist wins Booker Prize"

I’d be bright, merry and lively if I won a Booker, too.

From the body of the article.

"British author Alan Hollinghurst has won the 2004 Booker Prize, the most prestigious literary award issued by Britain, for his gay novel “The Line of Beauty”.

So, evidently the novel is bright, merry and lively, also.

Wouldn’t the word homosexual be more aptly applied here?
