The way Shazia presented her question no wonder we got a few queer responses!!
Actually I am old enough to remember when "gay" was only a happy word
Indeed my 1987-edition Collins UK dictionary still shows the primary meaning as:
"carefree (as in highway) and merry".
I suppose If I ever wondered what I thought of Lightfoot's looks I guess I would have been very envious that someone with such a marvellous voice could look so good compared to a host of other popular singers and especially folk singers. Anyway I can't readily find it but I am sure that someone once compared Gord to either Adonis and/or said he looked like a Greek god. I have recently been playing the marvellous Music Scene 1969 video in mpg/videoCD/(mpeg-1)format and think that these two screenshots illustrate this point of view quite well
I am this time sure that you'll swoon again Gaby Baby!!

Above singing Saturday Clothes

and For Lovin' Me
