The word “gay” have its origins around the 12th century in England, derived from the Old French word ‘gai’, which was probably derived from a Germanic word, though that isn’t completely known yet. The main point, is that the word’s original meaning meant something to the effect of “joyful”, “carefree”, “full of mirth”, or “bright and showy”. However, in the early parts of the 17th century, the word began to be associated with immorality or bad. By the mid 17th century, according to an Oxford dictionary definition at the time, the meaning of the word had changed to mean *“addicted to pleasures and dissipations. Often euphemistically: Of loose and immoral life”.* This is an extension of one of the original meanings of “carefree”, meaning more or less uninhibited. Let's make a quick jump to the 19th century and the word gay is use to referred to a woman who was a prostitute and a gay man was someone who slept with a lot of women (ironic, ain't it?), often prostitutes. Also at this time, the phrase “gay it” meant to have sex. With these new definitions, the original meanings of “carefree”, “joyful”, and “bright and showy” were still around; so the word was not exclusively used to refer to prostitutes or a promiscuous man. Those were just accepted definitions, along with the other meanings of the word. However, around the 1920s and 1930s, the word started to have a new meaning. In terms of the sexual meaning of the word, a “gay man” no longer just meant a man who had sex with a lot of women, but now started to refer to men who had sex with other men. There was also another word “gey cat” at this time which meant a homosexual boy. By 1955, the word gay was officially acquired the new definition of meaning homosexual males. Gay men themselves seem to have been behind the driving thrust for this new definition as they felt (and many still do), that “homosexual” is much too clinical, sounding like a disorder (which it doesn't, but they havd the beliefs, i guess). As such, it was common amongst the gay community to refer to one another as “gay” decades before this was a commonly known definition. At this time, homosexual women were referred to as lesbians, not gay (even if it's still correct to use the word gay to reffered to a homosexual male or female). Although women could still be called gay if they were prostitutes as that meaning had not yet 100% disappeared. And that's how the word gay changed it's meaning so much in the history...hope it help to clarify the topic a bit to anyone who seem confused by little Pearly's thougths *(wow, this most be the longest comment that i have ever written)*

" I get to top tonight " i literally love this

Forgetting what straight people are is hysterical and also very based

“Unnecessary feelings” is Edgeworth’s way of saying gay thoughts.

objection: phoenix is bi (in my opinion) but that doesn’t change the fact that this is hilarious and edgeworth is phoenix’s one true love

Ah yes, lawyers banter. Gotta be my favorite sexuality fr

"wright shut up." got me rolling-

7:12 *_I get to top tonight_* chose a good thing to bet.

"If you're one of those mythical straight people I've heard about" PFFFFFTTT I unironically believe nobody except Larry is straight in all of Ace Attorney including Investigations, Layton, and Great Ace Attorney so this was hilarious

The fact that gay used to mean happy is something that I don't understand

I can just imagine the bet they made being like: Phoenix: How are we gonna decide who's the top tonight? Miles: I have a proposition. We shall set a challenge for a particular situation, where the one who prevails is the dominant one for tonight? Phoenix: ...So a bet to see who's the top? Miles: That would be the dumb way of saying it, yes.

Maya: Is this really the time for this 🙄 Phoenix, distraught and desperate: YES Glad he and I are on the same page

“What other option is there?” Had me dying 😂😂😂

Nick had his brain off throughout the entire video

Tbf I'm pretty sure Wright is bi. He seemed to genuinely like Dahlia 🥲

These two are like Yin and yang they fit together perfectly

My face hurts from the repeated face palms I've done due to Phoenix and his stupidity.

these are mad funny 💀💀

11:40 let be real there is no way Edgeworth is out running Phoenix, this man bikes everywhere. Edgeworth doesn't stand a chance

“But he doesn’t like to eat” uhm sir what?

Anyone else who thinks Miles has the best animations?

'Lost in thoughts all alone" Me, A fire emblem player: **was I summoned?**

10:41 Fransiska legally cannot be a teen because you have to be at least 21. (either way i love this video its really funny and dumb)

I am 3 minutes and 49 seconds into the video at this current moment. So far, I’m guessing this video is just gonna have gay moments of wrightworth and not much else. NOTHING IS STRAIGHT AND THATS WHAT MAKES IT FUNNY

At the end they just forgot they were fighting and went “oh damn my bf kinda cute frfr”

HOLY THIS IS AMAZING
