Back in the '70s a friend and I were visiting his mother, an old Maniac. He had non-standard shoes laces in his Chuck Taylor's, red iirc. "What gay shoelaces!" she said. Ladies of a certain age in upstate Maine weren't attuned to the changing usage. I remember at least two people from grade school / high school. One's last name was Gay and the other's given name was Gay (she was a she). Can't do much about the surname but I imagine Gay has fallen out of favor as a given name.
