Как-то раз мы встретили британца, где-то на тропе в лесу, и спросили его, цитируя Агату Кристи, что, бритсы до сих пор так говорят? "what are these gay old pussies doing here?" - Британец громко заржал.
мне было интересно, и я попытался найти ответ в интернете. графики частоты использования слов есть на каждом шагу, но, увы, я не нашел, как посмотреть частоту использования определенного значения.
зато я нашел вот это: "In addition to its original and continuing senses of “merry, lively” and “bright or showy,” gay has had various senses dealing with sexual conduct since the 17th century. A gay woman was a prostitute, a gay man a womanizer, a gay house a brothel. This sexual world included homosexuals too, and gay as an adjective meaning “homosexual” goes back at least to the early 1900s. After World War II, as social attitudes toward sexuality began to change, gay was applied openly by homosexuals to themselves, first as an adjective and later as a noun. Today, the noun often designates only a male homosexual: gays and lesbians. The word has ceased to be slang and is not used disparagingly. homosexual as a noun is sometimes used only in reference to a male" (https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/gay)
