Why does the word sound so ungraceful?

Ok no offense meant here..I am bi or maybe , either way, I just hate the word ! It just sounds so weird and I always imagine some big butchy girl wearing a lumberjack sweater and dirty jeans whenever I hear that word. And I think its kind of like a manly stereotype everyone imagines when they hear that word. Either that or star girls making out. Although I know not all of the girls are really that way. Anyway if they were to change the word, what would be a nicer sounding word? I think just the word gay sounds nicer.
