He Was Born Gay, Queen's Theatre, 1937

Until the 1970s the word 'gay' still meant 'happy' to the great majority of people in Britain, although its sexual and moral connotations go back to the mid-19th century, when [female] London prostitutes were known as 'gay ladies'. The fact that it could be used in the title of a popular play in London in 1937 written by one homosexual [Emlyn Williams] and starring another [John Gielgud], proves the obscurity of its secondary meaning at this time, although both Gielgud and Williams must have been aware of the irony. — James Gardiner
