The word gay has changed a lot since it arrival in the 12th century. Gay first started out as a word to mean "joyful", "carefree", "bright and showy" but in the 1960s it was converted to a term to define homosexuals' and because of the era it quickly turned into a insult used by middle schoolers. But around 2019 gay has become less of a insult and more of just another way to say homosexual.
