At the time, mainstream audiences didn’t get the reference so the line was thought popularly to have meant something to the effect of “I just decided to be carefree.” When another character asks about why he is wearing that, he responds an ad-libbed line “Because I just went gay”.

The word “gay” seems to have its origins around the 12th century in England, derived from the Old French word ‘gai’, which in turn was probably derived from a Germanic word, though that isn’t completely known. Today I found out how ‘gay’ came to mean ‘homosexual’.
