Prior to that, it was often used with its old meaning: having or showing a joyous mood. I object to the corruption of this word by the homosexual movement. Why is "gay" (in the old sense of the word) about homosexuality? Marv Graham; Convex Computer Corp. {allegra,ihnp4,uiucdcs,ctvax}!convex!graham
