During the 70's when almost all societies would still prosecuted publicly known homosexuals; a group of homosexual men in Amsterdam founded a clandestine private club where they could hang out free of prosecution to have drinks, smoke, chat, play cards and whatnots. They called the club and themselves as "G.A.I." (Gentlemen Association International). As time went by, word of mouth had also attracted heterosexual friends to join and attend the club.
When this term migrated to the U.S.A. and other English speaking Countries, without knowing the whole history of the term, people assumed it was gay and not G.A.I.
"Are you G.A.I?" would mean "Are you a G.A.I. member?" But in today's world of: "Are you gay?" literally asking if you are a homosexual person.

An abbreviation for anything involving a person being attracted to another person of the same gender. This goes for both males and females. 'Gay' could describe homosexuals, bisexuals, or pansexuals.
In old English, 'gay' was synonymous with 'happy' and 'jovial'.
The word 'gay' is sometimes used inaccurately as slang for being transgender, or just used as an insult. Some people consider it as a swear word, which in my opinion, is rather ridiculous.
"Is it bad that most of my ships are gay?"
"No, gay ships are yay ships."
"But as for Lucy, she was always gay and golden-haired, and all princes in those parts desired her to be their Queen, and her own people called her Queen Lucy the Valiant." -from The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
If 'gay' is a swear word, then wouldn't 'straight' be, too?
