What mak the e of this word the sense of homosexual a ltle more than prumed is the fact that gay had long acquired this meang and had been monly ed as a slang word at least sce the 1920s the Uned Stat, although the term did not enter mastream language until the 1940s the USA and the 1950s England (Partridge 2002).

GAY IN DIFFERENT LANGUAG

Notable as the Hollywood age of the word gay is, I would like to shift the foc to the Italian dubbed versn of Hawks’s film, entled Sanna, which David’s Italian answer to the lady’s qutn about his peculiar choice of clothg is: Perché sono diventato pazzo, ec perché!

Gays 1938 Italy were mad for two reasons: the first is that the very ncept of a homosexual uld never have ma past the fascist ernment’s own censorship ; sendly and more importantly, as the word gay the sense of homosexual entered the Italian lexin as a loan word only the late 1960s (De Mro 1979: 103), is more than likely that the Italian adapter did not know what Cary Grant was talkg about. This quotatn helps me to troduce the object of this article which tends to highlight two ma sensive areas the dubbg of the solled gayspeak to Italian: first, the possible existence of overt and vert manipulative and censorg practic which, at all tim and even today, may have tend to phemize, dilute or alter homosexual ntent and, more simply, to supprs the words of homosexualy; sendly, the necsy of an asssment of the Italian gay lexin as pared to the richns of the rrpondg English termology, orr to terme whether there exists objective problems for the translators who do not have a particular skill for makg up neologisms. Acrdg to Hay, homosexuals e gayspeak three suatns: the secret settg, which is necsary to exprs one’s own sexualy wh circumspectn; the social settg, which gays speak to other people they know to be gay; and the radil-activist settg, which gays ntrol and filter their language what we today ll polilly rrect ways.

This is not the place to tackle fundamental issu, namely the qutn of whether is acceptable, terms of polil rrectns but also of lguistic rrectns, to draw general assumptns on gayspeak as if were the language of a sgle muny, while the social landspe is obvly varied and sceptible to numerable distctns. While is important to keep md the distctns, my purpose here is the analysis of fictnal homosexuals and of their fictnal language as portrayed on the screen mos and ways which may be realistic but are more often than not stereotyped.

SWARDSPEAK: THE COLORFUL LANGUAGE OF THE FILIPO GAY COMMUNY

At issue here is the image of this speech muny as portrayed films wh gay subjects, their fictnal plexy and the relative simplifitn that tends to take place terms of lexil choice and manipulatn of ntents. Acrdg to Hay, the richt featur of social gayspeak are found the lexin, particularly pound nstctns, wh queen beg possibly the most wily employed stem word for buildg pounds ed for a limls seri of imag to scribe sexual preferenc (i.

Italian gay lexin has also had a siar evolutn, a siar posive turn as the one Stanley refers to, although the rpective terms eher stggled to fd their way to mastream language or were absorbed as loan words, th keepg an exotic feel to them, a foreign rg. This ttifi to the fact that, at least at the begng, the words stggled to be absorbed by the target culture: gay, transgenr, gout, dragqueen, are now words regnisable by most Italian people, but they are jt about the only words of the homosexual jargon to have entered mastream language. This feature is part of a wir disurse which se gayspeak as speakg om a certa place to a certa dience, as Leap (1997: xi) stat, quotg Irigaray (1985: 135-136), who famoly applied this fn to women’s speakg.

The “actg wh actg” (Hay 1976/2006: 71) and the allns to film stars of the past or other inic figur are, ed, a feature of gayspeak which is often portrayed films and ed stereotypilly to pict mpier characters. Wh s unique style, between the oneiric and the naturalistic, the play vers var issu, cludg the ndn of homosexuals Reagan’s Ameri a perd – 1985 – which AIDS was still nsired the gay plague.

WHAT MEANS TO ‘SOUND GAY’

Both the play and the film, the most theatril mp speaker is Belize, an ex drag queen whose speech prents all the tras that Harvey (2004: 449-450) fds characteristic of gay mp talk: the preoccupatn wh sexual activy and a tragi-ic awarens of the ephemeral nature of sexual sire; the ironic, feigned adherence to prcipl of cency; the versn of genr-specific terms, the girl talk; the practice of renamg that clus the adoptn of male nam marked as queer, and the equent e of French, which Harvey (2004: 451) f one of verbal mp’s most nsistent vic English, wh s humoro nod to sophistitn and smopolanism. In the followg scene, two of the protagonists, Louis and Prr, a homosexual uple, have jt been to the funeral of Louis’s grandmother (the words bold, all the exampl, dite the exprsns which are relevant the analysis of gayspeak):. Instead of rortg, as do, to the general term of omossuale [homosexual] and htg vaguely at nasnre sempre i difetti [always hi the flts], the Italian adaptatn uld have ed the more banal word ‘macho, ’ which is also ed Italian, perhaps losg the homosexual and ironic nnotatns but at least stickg more closely to the meang of Prr’s words.
