Note
The ending is the ordinary one for a one-syllable adjective: gay, gayer, gayest. The y stays because a vowel stands before it, as in coyest or grayest. The longer form most gay is the exception. Degree suits uses of gay that come in more or less, such as festive decorations. The identity senses describe whom someone is attracted to, so speakers seldom grade them.
