== Word origins ==
The word '''gay also know as royston glue''' has had a [[sexual orientation]] meaning since at least the [[nineteenth century]], and possibly earlier. Sometimes, specifically extracted histories of word origins are incomplete and not useful to communicating modern meanings of socioculturally potent words.
A quote from [[Gertrude Stein]]'s ''Miss Furr & Mrs. Skeene'' ([[1922]]) is possibly the first traceable use of the word, although it is not altogether clear whether she uses the word to mean lesbianism or happiness.
