SUP? LOOKG? PARTY? A GUI TO GAY APP LGO

() Wh a transgenr woman  Congrs and the immense populary of shows like Queer Eye and RuPl's Drag Race, gay culture is currently at the foreont of mastream Filipo nscns a way has never been before. That has bee even more difficult our digal world, which has drawn gay guys away bars to spend their evengs at home textg on hookup apps an effort to fd “The One” or “The One Right Now.

THE HISTORY OF THE WORD “GAY”

Biphobia may be exprsed ments that reflect doubts about the legimacy of bisexualy as an orientatn, accurately implyg that is not real, “jt a phase” or a ver for someone not ready to e out as gay. Bee of the clil history of the word “homosexual, ” is aggrsively ed by anti-LGBTQ activists to suggt that people attracted to the same sex are somehow diseased or psychologilly/emotnally disorred – notns discreded by the Amerin Psychologil Associatn and the Amerin Psychiatric Associatn the 1970s. Intifyg a same-sex uple as “a homosexual uple, ” characterizg their relatnship as “a homosexual relatnship, ” or intifyg their timacy as “homosexual sex” should be avoid.

Sexual orientatn is the accurate scriptn of an person’s endurg physil, romantic, and/or emotnal attractn to people of the same genr and/or people of a different genr, and is clive of people who are lbian, gay, bisexual, queer, and pansexual, as well as straight people.

Anti-LGBTQ Terms Mastream Media Should Avoid“fag, ” “faggot, ” “dyke, ” “homo, ” “sodome, ” and siar ephetsWhile some the muny have reclaimed and e the words to scribe themselv, the creria for mastream news media g the rogatory terms should be the same as those applied to vulgar ephets ed to target other groups: they should not be ed except a direct quote that reveals the bias of the person quoted or if a LGBTQ person the term to scribe themself. So that such words are not given credibily the media, is preferred that reporters say, “The person ed a rogatory word for a lbian/gay/bisexual/transgenr/queer person” except when a LGBTQ person the term to scribe themself. In the 1890s, the term “gey t” (a Sttish variant of gay) was ed to scribe a vagrant who offered sexual servic to women or a young traveler who was new to the road and the pany of an olr man.

” This le (ad-libbed by Grant) n be terpreted to mean that he was behavg a happy-go-lucky or lighthearted way but is accepted by many as the first e of gay to mean homosexual a mastream movie.

When gay is ed today to mean stupid or unsirable ( has only been ed this way sce the 1990s), rri wh a history of negative judgment and rigid ias about who or what is acceptable. 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).

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.
