I. adjective
This means generally homosexual. Usually it is applied to homosexual males, but is sometimes used to refer to homosexual females as well.
II. noun
A homosexual person, usually a man. Homosexual females are commonly called lesbians.
III. The original definition of gay was 'carefree', 'happy' or 'bright and showy'. It came from the Old French word gai, and arrived in English during the 12th century.
IV. These days 'gay' is, wrongly, used to refer to something (namely an inanimate object, for example a bag) that is unfavourable. Synonyms of this sort include 'sad' and 'lame'. They are all wrong, because an inanimatr object, such as a bag, presumably do not have feelings (sorry, bags, if you do) and therefore they cannot be sad, and this is a ridiculously derived insult. Bags do not have legs either, and thus they cannot be lame. But the supposed 'insult' of 'gay' annoys me most. Firstly because an inanimate object, such as a bag, cannot really be attracted to other things of the same sex. According to humans, as we made them, they do not have genders of their own.
Offensive, rude, and not-to-be-used 'synonyms' include faggot, fag and queer, the latter not being as bad and commonly used by gays themselves - but there are many more worse ones. For lesbians there is dyke, lez and lezzer, but there are probably far worse for these too.
A woman or girl who has many gay male friends is sometimes known as a fag hag.
Gay is not an insult.
I love gay people.

Get the Gay mug.
1. Happy
2. Homosexual
Many ignorant people try to use this word as an insult in modern culture, but it lacks any authority as an insult because there is nothing wrong with being happy, or homosexual, therefore attempting to use it as an insult only makes you look: Stupid, Inbred, or Mentally Retarded
