It used to mean happy. Now it means queer, or off. You could even say effeminate.

Hmmm. Gay must mean lame. Lame is gay? I don't understand why people have to keep bring it up as if they want to. I knew a guy where I used to work who always talked about it. I was fed up with hearing it so I asked him in a pissy way and he started to cry.....was that gay or what? I think the expression (hopefully) is outdated now. So, what's a nut-job? is that a lamebrain?

The way you are hearing that word used is not only stupid to hear, it's stupid of them to SAY! What they mean, to my dismay, is that whatever they are calling "Gay" is as bad as being homosexual. Not only is this "modern" world filled with nitwits, they are destroying the use of the English Language too! (The word "Gay" actually means to be happy, carefree or full of joy, no one really knows how it came to be associated with sexuality)

gay means happy or exuberant or lively, having high spirits or to be a homosexual so i am not sure but i would assume that person would mean this is happy or that game is lively

Origin was homophobic. People call things they don't like "gay" which is homosexual, but most people don't even think of that anymore when they say it.
Now it just means they don't like it.

It means happy, or good.
Look it up in the dictionary.
