What is the full meaning of gay?

homosexual person

Gay is a term that primarily refers to a homosexual person or the trait of being homosexual. The term originally meant 'carefree', 'cheerful', or 'bright and showy'. While scant usage referring to male homosexuality dates to the late 19th century, that meaning became increasingly common by the mid-20th century.

I don’t know what term to use for anybody anymore. 😜 I remember Norm McDonald talking about the subject of cisgender. As he put it, that was a name invented in an attempt to marginalize normal people. I loved that guy.

Damn, I can't believe I'm gonna be the one explaining that logic. I'm not a huge fan of that word : "cisgender", but what you just said made me realize what it was required. 

It has not been invented to marginalize normal people. It has just been used to avoid saying "normal people" for people (straight from wikipedia) "whose gender identity corresponds to their sex assigned at birth, i.e., someone who is not transgender."

Because trans are not "not normal". So it's an attempt to stop marginalizing trans.

Now, if the term was not used as an insult or in a pejorative way, that would probably help its acceptance and adoption.

That being said, while I'm happy for all the non-cisgender-cissexual people and supportive of their fight for acceptance, I do miss that time where things were easier on that front. 

I don't know, maybe because my generation fought for not being labelled I just don't get the newer generations who can't get enough labels to identify to their group.

I'm just old school and to me male/male and female/female are gay people.
