It's not a mispronounciation; it's an accent. That's how they speak and pronounce their vowels. They might feel your pronounciation is wrong.

They can pronounce it. They just pronounce it differently. This is common in some part of the south and midlands. ANY word with 'ay' in it is pronounced like the 'uy' in 'guy'; it's not as if they deliberately say 'guy' ONLY when they mean 'gay'.

There are many regional accents in Great Britain, local pronunciation is very common.

Indeed in some British accents "gay" might sound like "guy". So listen to the general speech patterns of such people before assuming that they are not saying "gay" in their own way.

Or even 'Gae'. It is a result of regional dialects and accents in this very densely populated country. It is possible to notice certain differences even in the next city some 50 miles away.
