ONLY LADS : EE GAY DATG & GAY CHAT SOCIAL WORK

the cultural inty of the loured lbian and gay muny, and how. Only Lads: ee gay datg & gay chat social work. In the past two s there’s been a greater acceptance of gay men many societi.

This n be seen, for stance, by the number of overtly gay men who occupy centre stage on prime time TV. And Somizi’s speech is fluenced by the South Ain lexin known as “Gayle” which is still e today the untry. Ken Cage extensively explored the language’s history and velopment his 2003 book “Gayle: the language of kks and queens: a history and dictnary of gay language South Ai”.

All of the varieti of language were veloped historilly by gay men (and to a lser extent lbians) who need their own way of speakg to avoid tectn and persecutn.

As I have argued my own rearch, the populary and longevy of Gayle South Ai shows how lguistic rourc n be mobilised by anyone. This also turns on s head the notn that speakg a particular way, wh certa tonatns or phras, “mak” a person gay.

The origs of Gayle. “Gayle” morphed om what was lled “Moffietaal”.

The word “moffie” scrib not only gay men but also effemate men and transvt.

VIBRANT CLUBS, BARS AND RTRANTS – THIS IS GAY-IENDLY JOHANNBURG

“Moffietaal” n be traced to loured gay muni Cape Town which have a long tradn of queer subcultur datg back to the late 19th century (the word “loured” is ed to scribe people of mixed racial leage South Ai). What mak “Gayle” different to gay varieti ed other parts of the world is that a batn of women’s nam and Aikaans slang to scribe other gay people or gay experienc.

For example a “Polly Papagaai” is a gay man who gossips (“papagaai” means “parrot” Aikaans); an “Ale adr” is a vdictive gay man (“adr” beg a kd of snake).

A person don’t need to be queer to e the mp nstctns of Gayle. Yet there seems to be a lgerg perceptn by the populace at large that when a man speaks or acts mp that they mt be a homosexual and a failed man. Conventnal heterosexualy is based on the bari of “man/woman”, “mascule/feme” and “heterosexual/homosexual”.

So although Gayle endur and has veloped a wir appeal, this do not mean that is pletely mastream. In other ntexts, speakg Gayle uld have terrible repercsns – for example at a barbecue wh nventnally-md South Ain men. This article has been updated to reflect that the South Ain ntributn to this disciple was penned by Ken Cage his 2003 book Gayle: the language of kks and queens: a history and dictnary of gay language South Ai.
