John --, author of 'The Beggar's Opera' (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gay

(Other definitions for gay that I've seen before include "Writer of The Beggar's Opera" , "Brightly coloured" , "Homosexual" , "John --, author of 'The Beggar's Opera'" , "Merry" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
