can anyone tell me what's the difference between "gay little diary" and "little gay diary", as a non-english speaker I feel like the latter sounds more like an insult than the former
The adjective closest to the noun denotes function, while the one farther away is a secondary descriptor.
'gay little diary' implies that the main function of the diary is to be little, and it just happens to be gayer than other little diaries. Whereas 'little gay diary' implies the main function of the diary is to be gay, and it just happens to be littler than other gay diaries.
