When I hear the word 'gay', I think of it in a broad, positive sense; to me, it evokes ideas of fun, love and positivity. It can also evoke nostalgia for good times shared with friends and memories made celebrating with them. Additionally, there is an element of pride that comes from being part of a diverse community—one that is brave enough to stand up, be who they are and make their voice heard regardless of criticism or judgement. 
 
It can also have more complex associations too - questions about identity, family relationships and societal expectations come to mind as I consider the history and varied meanings around the word 'gay'.
