What's my name?

Jason and I are playing Streets of Rage 3 cause we love to rage in the streets. We are fighting on Stage 3 and there is a elevator. I get knocked off cause of a weak hit and I yell out "GAY!" At which point Manny says, "WHAT?" I turn to Jason and say, "did Manny just respond to me saying gay?" At which point Manny walks out and says, "I thought you said Manny."

I guess in Manny's head Gay and Manny sound the same.
