I thk the changeover of meang me around the 1970s/1980s, and the sense of "merry" still exists* a few set phras such as "a gay old time" and "merry and gay" as well as the adverb gaily.

MEANG OF GAY ENGLISH

Inflectns of 'gay' (adj): gayeradj parative gaytadj superlative WordReference English-Italiano Dictnary © 2023:Prcipal Translatns/Traduzni prcipaliIngleItaliano. In May, the Temecula Valley Unified School District’s board voted 3 to 2 to reject a new curriculum that clud discsns on the gay rights movement and mentned Harvey Milk, the first out gay man elected to public office California.

That same year, Pieters beme a natnal spokperson for AIDS awarens and gay polil activism after his historic terview wh televangelist Tammy Faye on her broadst, which fied the work's homophobic tennci. The exampl are programmatilly piled om var onle sourc to illtrate current age of the word 'gay.' Any opns exprsed the exampl do not reprent those of Merriam-Webster or s edors. Thanks, but while g this word do people thk "homosexual" the same time, I mean do "gay/borg" om the fact that people thk gay people are borg or is jt the same word wh no lk between them?

GAY

I thk a lot of people may e whout directly associatg wh homosexualy - as a kid I don't thk that I did - this may jt have been childish naivete however My spicn however is that s history is related to the sult of gay as "effemate", then beg broaned to a more generic disparagg term. In my opn "that's so gay" is the kd of spontaneo rebelln that occurs when elists try to dictate language e, whether for Polil Correctu or any other reason. If is ed a jokg manner is, maybe even subnscly, negative is as sultg as llg someone short ass, spastic, nigger, to be jewish (for mean) a slut, gay etc even if the speaker don't 'mean '..

Maybe I wasn't clear enough how I terpreted what you said - my qutn is - if is not homophobic to e "gay" that way is not racist to e the terms "black" or "Jewish" the same way?

As far as I am aware is a synonym of "homosexual" I am hontly not aware of beg a phemism for anythg, and I severely doubt that any playground e is such. (I'm not sayg that the exprsn always shows exprsed homophobia, but imo has fely stemmed and blossomed om the perceptn of a certa group of people's sexualy). Firefoxbrand, as a ntemporary, I jt have to say that while we've ma enormo progrs sce the Civil Rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s, we have one vil of a long way still to go, particularly the area of gay rights.

SYNONYMS OF GAY

If you are suggtg that bee playground bully Mark has been told that he mt not ll ltle Lucian a faggot bee he lik ballet and knows how many stich to drop to create a sateen weave and that he should e the polilly rrect term "gay" this nstrictn on his exprsn is such an outrage to him that he the term "gay" to scribe the next bbish film he se as an ironic rebelln then I thk you're wrong. I image (and here of urse we are really gettg to the realms of supposn, but I still believe ) that stems om overt homophobia the first stance - the sire to prove that you are most certaly not gay. I gus that more than not believg the supposed post-morn irony of g a polilly rrect term a disparagg way and not believg is a polilly rrect term anyway I thk about the kids growg up beg gay and hearg the term ed as a tch-all for bbish - the effect on their self-teem.

GAY (SYNONYMS)

Actns which e kids to feel like that are homophobic, my opn, whether through lack of thought (which I thk probably is) or a lguistic polilly rrect backlash (which I don't thk is).

That mt have been really hurtful, Jim, but here I don't thk (and you know I'm playg vil's advote sce I've been que vol opposn above) that anyone is sayg is OK to e the term "gay" as an sult wh an overt meang of "homosexual". And I have fely heard ed that way - the person scribg whatever is as "gay" would have been bemed to have is suggted that they were makg any sort of ment on sexualy (jt as my 8-year-old self would have been surprised to know that llg someone spastic for gettg a sum wrong was makg a reference to physil handip (I doubt I knew what a "spastic" lerally was then)).

GAY DICTNARY

I simply do not see how the phrase n be heard as anythg but a homophobic slur by those old enough to unrstand , even if the slur was uttered by someone who was too young to know the full import of the phrase he or she had learned. To me, equatg "gay" wh "crap" is jt such a problem today, more so than most precisely bee open and unashamed homophobia is far more prevalent today than open and unashamed racism. While may sometim be said nocence or ignorance, I don't thk that's really often the se an age when ( the USA, at least) the word "gay" meang sexual orientatn issu om TV sets wh regulary.

The kids are extremely gay-iendly and void of bigotry toward ethnic groups or people wh disabili, or whatever-- you name , if 's PC they have pretty unanimoly bought to . I agree wh you that people g the phrase probably don't mean to sult anyone and are probably not makg any lk between llg a film gay and homosexualy - jt like llg a film lame mak no lk to hobblg.

Usg "gay" such a way is jt beg nasty to a group of people (whether you've thought through and are dog on purpose or not) (like my "that's so Amerin" example above). I've explaed above why I thk uld be very hurtful for a gay child growg up already very uncerta and vulnerable to hear the term nstantly ed this way, and I thk if were poted out to your iends and children that they might severely nt someone's self-teem at a time they are particularly vulnerable by g such terms they would probably be horrified, but would neverthels want to know. for me (and for most of who e the word gay also our own language), non-native English speaker, the first and domant meang of the word gay is homosexual: I'd thk of any other possible meangs (cheerful, bright, dissolute..

I jt wanted to pot out that gay is one of those tricky words which should be ed refully by nativ when talkg or wrg to a foreigner, each time you want nvey a different meang om the most mon one. I uld image a ntext where I'd say "This vio game is so gay, " if I'm really annoyed at the AI, and I'm around a foreigner where he might misnste the meang. On the other hand I dont thk many of my stunts ARE homophobic, I've heard really nice kids who I knokw are gay-iendly e -- so I n see the logic both pots of view here, on this age-old topic of how language reflects thought and vice-versa!

If someone is gay OK they're gay, if they're Jewish they're Jewish fe, if they've got cerebral palsy they've got cerebral palsy BUT you start g the words to signify negative thgs then subnscly you are velopg negative ias about certa groups society who already 'don't have easy ' a young child hears don't be so gay/such a spastic/ a Jew etc that child is NOT gog to say to himself., beg gay is good.. They never took advantage me, acted pletely like regular human begs, and I never nsired gay people "those people" bee to me they've always been part of ".

I thk my attu is pletely removed om hatred as I ntue to have old iends and fd new iends who are gay (though I n't generally hang out wh the particularly effemate on for the same reason I n't always hang out wh girls).

you start g the words to signify negative thgs then subnscly you are velopg negative ias about certa groups society who already 'don't have easy ' a young child hears don't be so gay/such a spastic/ a Jew etc that child is NOT gog to say to himself., beg gay is good.. I thought there would be a term which is more mon than others (like gay English) and I assumed that would have an olr meang, before acquirg the meang "homosexual".

It's very much the same wh the French term pédé--on the one hand, 's severely offensive if ed by a straight person but on the other you'll hear gay men referrg to each other wh . The word is ntral enough (you likely might e a talk wh your gay iend whout offendg him), but homophobia may be safely lled a norm on the post-Soviet area. Compare the gay bar "Голубая устрица" Mosw, the name of which ntas several hts and associatns the same time, or the gay club "Голубая луна" (and, of urse, the very song by Boris Moiseyev which has given s name to ).

"Queer", albe unqutnably disparagg the given sense, n be renred as голубой only if a gay is talkg of himself or of his peers (this clus lbians and other LGBT, not only "голубые"), bee of "gay pri" reclaimg offensive words for "ternal" age. Generally, "queer" is a (d) sult, rrpondg to (if talkg about gays proper) "педик" Rsian, or pendg on ntext, up to an offensive "пидор", and, therefore, mt be ed wh greater utn. That some homosexual e to adrs each other seems like an attempt to rist the still strong ostracism they are sufferg om, by g the very language ed to sult them.

I don't thk that gay people e amongst themselv, though, the way that you sometim hear black people ll each other "nigger" and the way you say you n e "pédé".

No, no tim, I did not mean that was lloquial, I was jt sayg that if is ed France now (as opposed to 10 years ago when I had never heard ed there yet), is not the formal term, the formal term (let's ll "official" term) is homosexuel, that's all!
