I think THIS should explain it all to those of simple minds, who may mistakenly interpret the title to mean something it does not. It's a shame that the English language has disintegrated to such a point where even the articulate, misinterpret things.
"The Gay Science has become the canonical translation of the title since Walter Kaufmann's version in the 1960's. Kaufmann references The Shorter Oxford English Dictionary (1955) that lists "The gay science (=Pr[ovençal] gai saber): the art of poetry." The title should not be read with any homosexual connotation." -Wiki (whomever)
