It is a toffee and vanilla ice cream dipped in chocolate and wrapped in honeycomb biscuits, on a wooden pop-stick. Its name has survived intact despite the possible homosexual connotations in modern decades. The company appears to embrace the camp name by retaining the tagline from the 1980s, “It’s hard to have a Gaytime on your own”. In 2010, Streets launched the brand’s first official website, featuring tools with humorous names like “Golden Gay Year” and “Instant Gaytimes”. 2. A very happy time no homo 3. Very homosexual time

The word gay used to mean happy, so having a gay time meant you were having a happy time. Telling someone you were gay did not mean you were homosexual. This can be seen in some 1930’s movies. The word gay has since been taken up by people and used in a different way.
