WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN “GAY” AND “HOMOSEXUAL"? IS ONLY BY GENR?

Amerins e the word 'gay' now stead of 'homosexual'” Mreen Dowd’s article tled “Happily Never After? Both gay and homosexual n be ed for both sex, and they mean mostly the same thg; the differenc are subtle.

Probably bee the word lbian exists as well, one is slightly more likely to refer to men when g the word gay; but note that is very often also ed for women. When ed as a noun, gay seems to refer to men a b more often than as an adjective, although is still very often ed to refer to both men and women.

As a nsequence, g homosexual n sometim sound a ltle b as if you were scribg patients, as if were some mental illns.

ARE ‘GAY’ AND ‘HOMOSEXUAL’ THE SAME? HERE’S WHAT WE FOUND.

Bee homosexualy was long treated as a disease or at least as unsirable, some of this old negativy still clgs to the word homosexual, pecially as a noun. You will fd that most gays will maly e gay, except a scientific ntext; and even there, homosexual as a noun has bee almost impossible.

If you were to say homosexuals, and you weren't over 50 or a b reactnary general, I would thk you were jokg. ) om the mouth of a real live lbian, who lived through the wars of Who Are We, Lbians or Gay Women? If you want to e the word "homosexual, " then you are a doctor or scientist, or a parent who was raised the 1930s.

Anyway, gays took back the word "gay" bee was beg ed as a slur agast them, much like the n-word, much like the word faggot (and if you are unfaiar wh the rivatn of the word faggot, I suggt you n to your dictnary right now, sce is no where near as fortable as the rivatn of the word lbian).

LBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, TRANSGENR – WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

Suffice to say that the word homosexual is an outdated term all but the most tached scientific wrg; that the word lbian appli strictly to women; and that the word gay n refer to both men and women, but ually refers to men. There are some who would argue that "homosexuals" are those who meet the clil fn of beg more attracted to members of the same sex than those of the oppose sex (given that most theori of sexual orientatn today dite that sexual orientatn is a ntuum, that heterosexualy and homosexualy are more than or ls than differenc rather than dichotomi).

Given the opprsn that has led to the "closet, " many people who are more homosexual than heterosexual do not and have never participated the gay liftyle or culture and may even be largely unaware of . It is suggted that the first e of the word "gay" a sexual ntext was a short fictn piece by Gert Ste:. I'm always amazed when I read an article and a person is scribed as an "avowed homosexual" - I never took a pledge!

Gay more monly refers to homosexual mal and lbian more monly refers to homosexual femal, although gay may be ed to scribe both homosexual mal and femal. Homosexual is a clil term and ed almost exclively by right-wg and nservative policians, judg, activists, mentators, etc. It tends to imply salcns bee the word SEX ss right there the middle--a sure attentn-grabber and an implitn that homoSEXuals are exclively ncerned wh SEXual gratifitn and have no "fay valu" whatsoever.

Those who e hope others will perceive gays and lbians not as real human begs but rather as mdls, unthkg mach that n't ntrol their ltful sir. Those who always say "homosexual" are also beg as disrpectful as they n whout beg vulgar, arguably, by not g the terms most gays and lbian prefer.

After Olympian Tyson Gay qualified for the 100-meter-dash fal, Christian news outlet OneNews Now published an article wh the followg headle: “Homosexual Eas Into 100 Fal at Olympic Trials. ” The mistake was ed by the se’s edorial filter, which changed the athlete’s last name tomatilly — keepg wh the outlet’s policy agast nng stori that e the term “gay, ” replacg  wh “homosexual” stead.

Although the terms “gay” and “homosexual” may be notatively listed as synonyms, g one or the other is often strategic and liberate, wh a host of socpolil do people mean when they say ‘homosexual’? Historilly, the term “homosexual” has been associated wh clil ias about same-sex attractn as viant.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GAY AND QUEER

Born-aga Christian groups have strategilly ed this term to emphasize their belief that homosexualy is a behavral aberratn; wh this as a foundatnal belief, they create “nversn therapy” programs to treat same-sex attractn as a psychologil abnormaly. The term “gay, ” on the other hand, beme the preferred term ed by pro-LGBT activists the late 1960s. The ANES randomly assigned half of s rponnts to answer policy qutns about “homosexual” rights, while the remag half did the same about “gay” rults showed that, as recently as 2012, the terms “gay” and “homosexual” uld affect public opn.

The term “homosexual” was associated wh lower levels of support for LGBT here’s an important veat: This effect is ndned by a few factors. Among born-aga Christians, opposn to “homosexual rights” was 21 percent higher for dividuals wh the hight observed level of the thorarianism sle, pared wh those srg at the lowt level. However, when asked about “gay rights, ” we observed no differenc between the two, we examed whether a siar pattern of rults might occur when lookg at whether rponnts personally know someone wh same-sex attractns.

QUEER VS. GAY: HOW THE WORDS ARE DIFFERENT, AND WHY IT’S IMPORTANT

Whereas knowg someone wh same-sex attractns may crease the likelihood of holdg negative attus toward them (psychologists ll this a “ntact effect”), not knowg someone may exacerbate differenc how people who sre high on the thorarianism sle procs the two fd that opposn to “homosexual rights” was 16 percent higher for those srg most highly on the thorarianism sle who did not personally know someone wh same-sex attractns, when pared wh those srg at the lowt level.

Overall, our rearch suggts that the terms “gay” and “homosexual” n be ed strategilly to sway public opn among certa large and polilly relevant groups. Polil figur hopg to boost public opposn for LGBT rights may be able to e the term “homosexual” to sway listeners’ posns.

Not bee they are bad, or homophobic, or transphobic… but bee the reali are not their own lived experience, or bee workg alongsi the groups may be a newer experience for them.
