Funny! Correct me if I’m wrong, but the word “gay” had not been hijacked back then, i don’t think.

You are correct. Back then, the word "gay" meant "happy."
"Queer" meant what "gay" means today. Language is living, alive, and dynamic. I don't like that language is that way, but it doesn't care what I like or hate. Language is dynamic.

” Correct me if Im wrong, but the word gay had not been hijacked back then, i dont think.”
In 1972 I was nearly laughed out of the seventh grade by my peers because I thought gay meant happy.
