South Park question

The episode about the Rain Forest -

Mr. Garrison has the kids sing - Getting Gay With Kids is the name of the song (of the group?)

Here are the lyrics, and why is it called this?

Every-Do do do do do, za da do do wah,
Boys- There's a piece that is magical and full of rain,
Girls-Now it needs help because it is in pain,
Every-Cleaning the earth is a mighty big chore,
We're spreading awareness like never before,
Getting Gay With Kids is here, to spread the word and bring you cheer,
Let's save the rainforest, what do ya say,
Being an activist is totally gay.
Jake- And some day if we work hard boys and girls,
Kelly-There'll be nothing but rainforests covering the entire world (world).
Every- Getting Gay with kids is here to spread the word and bring you cheer,
Getting Gay with kids is here to save the rainforests what do you say,
it's totally gay, it's totally gay!

Getting Gay... saving the rainforest... caring about the environment... environmentalist *******... could be called "Gay." It wasn't a particularly funny joke, IMO as much as I love the show. And I wouldn't take it too seriously... this is South Park we're talkin about here.

I'm not in any way offended by it - its a cute song and a funny show - I was just curious if I missed something by Getting Gay With Kids. Was G.A.Y. an acronym for something?

I've always taken it to mean something like this:

From Dictionary.com

gay
1. Of, relating to, or having a sexual orientation to persons of the same sex.
2. Showing or characterized by cheerfulness and lighthearted excitement; merry.
3. Bright or lively, especially in color: a gay, sunny room.
4. Given to social pleasures.
5. Dissolute; licentious.

Well that makes sense too, I guess I should get my mind out of the gutter.

I think they were making fun of "Up With People".

For those of you too young to remember, this page should give you the idea (diabetics should brace themselves before clicking on the link):

That and the fact that Mr. Garrison is an overtly sado-masochistic homosexual.
