# Laser Force
|
||||
|
||||
**Laser Force** is a vintage toy-line from the 1980s.
|
||||
|
||||
## Corporation
|
||||
|
||||
**Laser Force** was created, by people, through the company which is today known as — **American Plastic Toys Inc.**
|
||||
|
||||
Although “**American Plastic Toys Inc.**” was not the company's original name.
|
||||
The company's previously was named — **Gay Toys Inc.**
|
||||
|
||||
Why the name change‽ —
|
||||
|
||||
This is speculation, but the common meaning for the word “gay” used to be —
|
||||
|
||||
> gay (adjective): joyous, joyful, happy.
|
||||
|
||||
It was likely this is the meaning for the word “gay” that the previous company name (“**Gay Toys Inc.**”) was derived.
|
||||
|
||||
Most people nowadays aren't aware of this meaning for the word “gay”.
|
||||
And would probably assume a company named “Gay Toys Inc.” makes sex toys (rather than children's toys) which could be why the company changed its name.
|
||||
The company makes childrens' toys, and may not have wanted to connote anything sexual.
