Like I've said before, my generation grew up watching "Batman & Robin" (your avatar reminds me) on TV with all that camp, and Bugs Bunny dressing up in drag and kissing Elmer Fudd. There was even a wedding once.

And we wonder why?!?!

I have known a number of Gay people. "Gay" was a fairly popular girl's name when I was born, and rather instantly zeroed-out in the 1960s, when gay became a word with at least two meanings that may, in some folk's minds be deemed irreconcilable.

First, I read about the "Gay '90s" (the decade of the 1890s) and then I lived through the gay 90s (the decade of the 1990s).

"Gay" as a gir'ls name and "Gaylord" as a boy's name were both in use until around 1960, when they both, as I find indicated by available U.S Census statistics, apparently became profoundly unpopular.
