Gay is a homosexual person or the trait of being homosexual. The term was originally used to mean "carefree", "happy", or "bright and showy".At about the same time, a new, pejorative use became prevalent in some parts of the world. In the Anglosphere, this connotation, among younger speakers, has a meaning ranging from derision to a light-hearted mockery or ridicule.
In this use, the word rarely means "homosexual", as it is often used, for example, to refer to an inanimate object or abstract concept of which one disapproves.he extent to which these usages still retain connotations of homosexuality has been debated and harshly criticized.
A gay woman was a prostitute, a gay man a womanizer, and a gay house a brothel. The use of gay to mean "homosexual" was in origin merely an extension of the word's sexualized connotation of "carefree and uninhibited", which implied a willingness to disregard conventional.
