Perhaps I'm just
King of the Pedants,

But it really bugs me that the title of this comp is 'If everyone was gay' when the correct English is 'If everyone were gay'

I need to get out more.

No it isn't, "everyone" implies a group of people, but it's used singularly, since you're actually referring to the group as a whole, which is singular.
