Today, for the very first time, we're thrilled to wele you to HuffPost Queer name change four-and-a-half years after we origally buted as HuffPost Gay Voic -- and after untls nversatns wh untls people, both si and outsi of the HuffPost I've had my own love affair wh the word "queer" for as long as I n remember (more on that a mute), at the time of our lnch 2011 some people felt that the term was too ntroversial, too divisive and, bee of s history as a slur, perhaps jt too paful to e. Instead, we settled on HuffPost Gay Voic (you n read more about how that cisn was reached here).

The Huffgton Post has lnched Gay Voic, another “vertil” (their term for a specific sectn of the se) their seemgly ever-growg list (Black Voic, Lato Voic, etc.

) servg ntent by er his gural post welg rears, Gay Voic edor Noah Michelson addrs the ratnale for the se and s name:While the Huffgton Post has done an credible job of verg queer stori the past, Gay Voic will provi a place for all of those stori to “live” together, thereby makg much easier for rears to fd, share and discs queer topics... Brgs to the term “gay” and why we chose the name Gay Voic... While most often scrib a “male homosexual, ” “gay” has been and n be ed by (and to refer to) those wh other margalized sexual inti.

I fully nce the term may not be one everyone feels fortable claimg or wants to be associated wh (pecially when to issu of genr rather than sexualy), but after realizg that there was never gog to be the perfect term for to e, we felt that “gay” packs the most stantaneo punch and immediately intifi the ntent on this vertil as alg wh the typ of issu and argument that “gay” is still the clost we have to a universally acceptable word to scribe LGBT people is not new. The qutn I have om the above ratnale is: Has the word “gay” really e full circle? Well, Gay Voic seems to thk so.
