A gay bla origally refered to a dashg swordsman whose sword was often upright and at the ready. Later was applied to any gallant young morn tim, the change of meang of the word gay and the movie "Zorro: The Gay Bla" ( which the famo swordsman has a homosexual tw brother) have greatly fluenced/changed the meang of the dog show parlance, a gay tail is one that is upright and sometim curvg over the back not unlike an upright sword (though I don't know for sure that the two meangs are related).

GAYBLA: THE LOST LGBTQ ROLEPLAYG GAME, EXPLAED
Perhaps you remember when Gee Haton starred the movie "Zorro: The Gay Bla." While some objected to the movie's tle, there's a history to . Do you know ? * what is meant by gay blade *
Episo 3, "Role Players, " explas how the first LGBTQ puter RPG, GayBla, was temporarily lost to the sands of time -- until an archivist enlisted the Inter to help rever the fil and return them to the game's creator.
GayBla creator Ryan Bt tght himself how to 40 years ago, then ed what he learned to create GayBla after movg to San Francis the late '80s and gettg volved the queer muny there. GayBla tak players to a dungeon on a qut to rcue Emprs Nelda om "disgtg right-wg creatur, " cludg preachers wh bags of money, racists and homophobic ps, as well as sbs and some STIs. The game's ultimate boss is a spoof of Pat Buchanan, a former GOP printial ndidate and advisor to Print Richard Nixon who famoly penned an op-ed The New York Tim, argug that the AIDS epimic was God seekg revenge agast gay people.
Creatg GayBla allowed Bt to put LGBTQ characters and their liv at the foreont of the story, rather than relegatg them to si characters like other puter gam did at the time. He wasn't the only one for whom the game ronated -- Bt received not om other people the queer muny and GayBla got some prs attentn.
GAY-BLA ED MEANG
At the time of filmg for High Sre, Bt was still searchg for the GayBla fil, but he had found some help: the LGBTQ Vio Game Archive. Now, GayBla is ee to play to the public, thanks to Matthias Oborski of the Computerspiele Mm, the LGBTQ Vio Game Archive and Jason Stt of the Inter Archive.
While many the days flt to thkg of the term gay bla as an offensive ment ma about flamboyant homosexuals, the word gay didn’t jt one day adopt that meang. In other words, the gay life was a life of loose morals and so mal and femal who were cled to leadg immoral liv were said to be gay. It only took three hundred more years for the word to refer to male homosexuals.
