My first recollection of the word gay being different than I understood it to be was when I was about 8 years old (1968) walking down a busy street with my younger brother and our babysitter. Someone in a car was honking and whistling out the window (what I now understand was directed at our babysitter) but I said - they must be gay. Innocently thinking they where just really happy about something. I distinctly remember the babysitter laughing and I asked why - I was confused and she didn't really offer an explanation I recall. But I knew something was up with that word even then.
