GAY (HOMOSEXUAL) AND GAY (HAPPY)

Tom Robson a Brish mician and sger, one of the first, if not the very first pop artist who did not disguise or hi his homosexualy om the general public.

GAY

Until then homosexual actors, micians, athlet or anyone the public eye had two choic life: to keep their homosexualy a secret, pecially om the media, or adopt the mannerisms and a of drs which were very mp but at the same time (ironilly) never admtg their sexual preferenc publicly.

MEANG OF GAY ENGLISH

Tom Robson released a very succsful song entled (Sg if you're) Glad to be Gay, was the mid-70s, and I was still at a Catholic primary school when I remember que distctly hearg gay beg ed for the first time to unteract the BrEng rogatory terms such as: poofter, poof, queer, not normal, fairy and queen that were rife at the time. "Glad to Be Gay" is built around four vers cricizg Brish society's attus towards gay people. In the first verse, criciz the Brish police for raidg gay pubs for no reason at all, once homosexualy had been crimalized sce the 1967 Sexual Offenc Act.

In the send verse, pots to the hypocrisy of Gay News beg prosecuted for obsceny stead of porn magaz like magaz Playboy or the tabloid The Sun which publish photographs of topls girls on Page 3. It also criciz the way homosexual people are portrayed other parts of the prs, pecially nservative newspapers News of the World and Sunday Exprs.

On the third verse, pots out the extreme nsequenc of homophobia, such as vlence agast LGBT people. For me, a young child livg London at the time, the term gay (meang homosexual and not "happy") was ed much more equently by the media and the general public after the release of "Glad to be Gay".

It also helped that Tom Robson looked straight and was not the least mp, he did not f the stereotypil ia of how homosexuals looked and behaved.

HOW TO BE HAPPY AS A GAY MAN

\n Explorg the different meangs of a ntroversial word “gay” is everywhere you look the days.

ARE GAY MEN HAPPIER THAN STRAIGHT MEN?

Gay activists support gay rights such as gay marriage, while gay-bashers prott all thgs gay, cludg the gayby boom. There’s also been a rash of suicis volvg gay youngsters who were bullied—which is perhaps why the trailer for The Dilemma ught major flak. I mean, not homosexual gay, but, you know, my-parents-are-chaperong-the-dance gay.

Most people are very aware of the meang of “gay” as happy or lame, but the word has had an astoundg range of other meangs as well.

THE MEANG OF GAY: WHAT IT IS AND HOW TO USE IT

What “gay” means pends entirely on your time perd and perspective, and the days, perspective n be hard to fd. ” The sense of “gay” as happy or merry dat om the 1400s and spired some bizarrely specific sens, such as “of a horse: lively, prancg” and “of a dog's tail: rried high or erect.

” In several earlier fns, we n see the seeds of “gay” begng to mean homosexual, if only bee the meangs f wh what would bee gay stereotyp. “Wh gay abandon” started meang “wh reckls abandon” the mid-1800s.

“Gay” also meant somethg like “prostute-y” the 1800s, as a “gay woman” or “gay girl” was what we ll a sex worker the days.

HAPPY & GAY

Another sense, ed sce the 1500s, fs gay stereotyp like a rctnist glove: “... ” As far as we n tell, “gay” only started meang homosexual the early 1940s. They were together then and traveled to another place and stayed there and were gay there...

This example om that year shows jt how -flux (and vert) the meang was: “Supposg one met a stranger on a tra om Boston to New York and wanted to fd out whether he was ‘wise’ or even homosexual.

’ And by a slight accent put on the word ‘gay’ the stranger, if wise, would unrstand that homosexual rorts were meant.
