Θα είχε έξοχο φιλολογικό ενδιαφέρον να ανιχνεύσει κανείς (Αγγλος ή Αμερικανός ειδικός) πότε άρχισε να προστίθεται η σήμερα κυριάρχη έννοια στη λέξη gay...

Από την wikipediaQ:

The term gay was originally used to refer to feelings of being "carefree", "happy", or "bright and showy"; it had also come to acquire some connotations of "immorality" as early as 1637.
The term's use as a reference to homosexuality may date as early as the late 19th century, but its use gradually increased in the 20th century. In modern English, gay has come to be used as an adjective, and occasionally as a noun, referring to the people, especially to men, and the practices and cultures associated with homosexuality. By the end of the 20th century, the word gay was recommended by major style guides to describe people attracted to members of the same sex
