In fact it is the other way around. "Gay" has had the meaning happy for ages. In the 19th century it started to get a naughty meaning, when brothels were sometimes called "gay houses". Only around 1920 the word was first used for homosexuals, who were considered joyful and naughty until not too long ago.
So - it's not gays that are considered happy, it's homosexuals who were considered gay.
