How Gay

How did ‘gay’ come to mean ‘homosexual’?

“It’s from this very heterosexual sense of the term – not gay-as-in-merry – that it probably came to mean “homosexual.”

Who knew, right? Anyone else scratching their heads that it’s easier to explain how “dope” came to mean cool?


From “Zorro, The Gay Blade” circa 1981.
