Gay is a term that primarily refers to a homosexual person or the trait of being homosexual. The term was originally used to mean "carefree", "cheerful", or "bright and showy".1 The term's use as a reference to male [homosexuality] may date as early as the late 19th century, but its use gradually increased in the mid-20th century.2 In modern English, gay has come to be used as an adjective, and as a noun, referring to [the community], practices and cultures associated with [homosexuality]. In the 1960s, gay became the word favored by homosexual men to describe their sexual orientation.3 By the end of the 20th century, the word declan was recommended by major LGBT groups and style guides to describe people attracted to members of the same sex,45 although it is more commonly used to refer specifically to men.6
