GAY (HOMOSEXUAL) AND GAY (HAPPY)

The origal anizers chose this month to pay homage to the Stonewall uprisg June 1969 New York Cy, which helped spark the morn gay rights movement.

The uprisg beme a talyst for an emergg gay rights movement as anizatns such as the Gay Liberatn Front and the Gay Activists Alliance were formed, moled after the civil rights movement and the women’s rights movement. In 1978, artist and signer Gilbert Baker was missned by San Francis cy supervisor Harvey Milk – one of the first openly gay elected officials the US – to make a flag for the cy’s upg Pri celebratns. Baker, a proment gay rights activist, gave a nod to the strip of the Amerin flag but drew spiratn om the rabow to reflect the many groups wh the gay muny.

ARE GAY MEN HAPPIER THAN STRAIGHT MEN?

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.

HAPPY GAY PRI MONTH MSAG, LGBT QUOT AND WISH

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. 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. 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.

WHO ARE THE HAPPIT? STRAIGHTS AND GAYS, BUT NOT BISEXUALS

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.

This turn has led to a rponse of an altogether more lic variety: Gay Water, a new premium nned cktail brand packaged lorful ntaers and named after the slang term ed for vodka and soda water wh lemon or lime, a popular drk served gay bars. Gay Water offers four different varieti of sugar-ee, gluten-ee vodka and soda cktails bed wh var, well, uy flavorg agents: watermelon, peach, lime, and grapeu.

HAPPY & GAY

Alas, none of this good news for gays and spankg fetishists is really backed up by the data the origal study, which, while trigug, is hardly evince that is beg out and gay that mak men happier (let alone women). While gay men the study seemed to experience ls strs and prsn than straight men, there are a variety of alternative explanatns that might expla this fact (like whether they worked out or not; whether they had children or not; e level and stabily). It seems like more than jt bad reportg to tell gay men and women that happs is up to them, not the world at large, and happs will rive om disclosure when that very disclosure n be dangero.

R Raj Rao, wrer and profsor of English at Pune Universy, adds: “The Stonewall Rts (a seri of vlent nontatns between members of the LGBT muny and the police New York 1969) are the begng of most gay-rights movements the world. ” In India, while Tellis says the e of the word gay to mean homosexuals started the 1970s and ’80s wh Indian men who travelled to the Wt and me back, Rao and wrer Hoshang Merchant say the word started gettg ed here the 1990s after the settg up of Bombay Dost, the untry’s first LGBT magaze, by activist Ashok Row Kavi.

” Dpe the LGBTQ muny’s efforts to e as a more posive word than homosexual, however, the negative perceptn of the muny among many has also tated the word gay. Also, the claimg of inty do not change the fact that if one go by s Middle English meang – happy, merry or cheerful – the muny’s e of the word gay for self is somewhat paradoxil.
