Thank you John, I’ve never seen this clip either. Thanks also to Kevan. It’s incredible that nearly 70 years later new clips still appear.

Looks like his secret is finally out.

Ha, ha, ha !

The term 'gay' had a quite different meaning back then:

'gay' = light-hearted & carefree.

No 'secret' involved...

There's even more to discover in this database: e.g. a very short clip of Elvis in a car speeding away and a single damaged frame in which you can see Elvis together with Gene Smith and a boy. Filmed on March 14, 1958 in Fort Worth. The script for the scene says "Elvis traveling with a cousin and a friend..."

1958-03-14 Fort Worth - Gene Smith, a young boy and Elvis.jpg

Edit 2024-02-08:
Just an addendum to this: The script mentions the Ken Moore family apparently picking him up in Fort Worth to drive him to Dallas, where Vernon and Gladys are waiting for Elvis. Since we're talking about family here, the young passenger could perhaps be one of the Moore sons?

If you use Firefox browser, you can right click on the page and `save page as` - that will save all including the separate video file.
