Mr. Alexander,I enjoy your articles and almost always agree with you. However, your statement; Our forefathers understood "gay" to mean "licentious, lacking moral restraints, leading a debauched or dissolute life.", is not correct.Its oldest English meaning, attested as early as 1310, is "disposed to joy and mirth", and was the most common use until the later part of the 20th Century.This was the basic understanding of the word 'gay', when I was in school in the 50's and 60's. The use of the word, at that time, to describe homosexuals, was considered an insult, to them. It meant that they were not serious about life and were therefore, not worth being around.
