What? Gay always meant happy, jolly etc. it was repurposed and gets weird if used by its original meaning.
My good man, how queer! Just means ‘quite odd’, sounds very old fashioned, but never ever meant anything else.

Gay meant happy. Then it was used as a perjorative to infantilise homosexuals in part to justify medical and judicial intervention. It was later reclaimed and has its current usage.
