Can you tell me how gay became the term for homosexual?

Activist homosexuals will say that WE started it.

Seriously, they claim that it was a pejorative given to them by normal society, which they just claimed and ran with. Yet another lie concocted by the brood of liars.

Thanks. I heard that it was a French term. At any rate, I do not subscribe to it. Of course I am not politically correct.
