The use of the word 'gay' in this case means homosexual. It comes from the late 1960's when homosexuality in England was illegal. It was made legal by the Labour Government but still not allowed in the Armed Forces. In London there was a group of guards Officers who were homosexual and the word was adopted as a sort of code so they could identify each other by using phrases like 'I went out with a friend last night. We had a gay time.' Other homosexuals would recognise the use of the word. It actually was not the word 'gay' they were using. It was the letters g a y meaning 'Good as you'. Sadly the word became corrupted and instead of the true meaning it is now taken to mean homosexual or lesbian.

Since they are guys and their joking with each other, they are saying that the other is attracted to another man. Gay also has other meanings too, but they are not using those meanings when they are speaking to each other.
