Does gap mean gay and proud

Although The Gap did begin in San Francisco, a city home to a large homosexual population and strongly associated with gay pride, its name has nothing to do with either of those coincident.

Presuming you’re talking about the GAP store, then no, this is not true. Whilst GAP can mean the usual phrase, ‘gay and proud’, the store is not founded on this philosophy. The GAP store was originally known as ‘The Gap’, and was started back in by Donald Fisher and Doris Fisher.
