It is a VERY old use of the word. In the Middle Ages it ment the effeminant courtiers (who were usualy homosexual) because they were "GAYly" dressed (bright colours ribbons etc...) By Victorian times it ment anyone who "proper" society considered deviant and it was a very common term for prostitutes of BOTH sexes - no matter what their sexual orientation...

That's just like asking " Why are dogs animals?" There's no answer... It just is the way it is.
Homosexuals=gay..... gay=homosexuals
