    It’s not as common now but I’ve met somebody who’s first name is Gay.

    Who’s that guy over there? Well that’s Homosexual Smith; the heterosexual.

      huge fan of the practice TV series, one of the starring roles was LisaGay Hamilton. used to be credited as Lisa Gay Hamilton but I don’t know if she changed it, is stylizing it or if it was inconsistent crediting as is usually the case but currently it’s LisaGay single word in most resources.

      I knew a woman whose first name was Gay but she always went by her middle name.

      Actually Homosexual Smith sounds like a famous frontiersman or maybe an Old West preacher.
