WORDS THAT RHYME WH GAY

Gay is also an inty term ed to scribe a male-intified person who is attracted to other male-intified people a romantic, sexual, and/or emotnal sense.

VOBULARY FOR DISCSG GAY, LGBT ISSU

LGBTQ+ — LBGT is an abbreviatn for lbian, gay, bisexual, and transgenr (often ed to enpass sexual preference and genr inti that do not rrpond to heterosexual norms). GLAAD prefers that we don’t e the term homosexual bee ’s “aggrsively ed by anti-gay extremists to suggt that gay people are somehow diseased or psychologilly/emotnally disorred.

As well, if you check out any English-language news media, there are ually several articl every day that ver gay rights, gay people and how other stutns society feel (for example, the Church).

The days the word ‘homosexual’ is ed more official suatns (eg a scientist might talk about homosexualy) and n sound a ltle negative regular nversatn.

"DO I SOUND GAY?"

Beg transgenr is separate though to sexual orientatn – for example, a transgenr person might intify as heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, or asexual jt like heterosexual people (or fact, they might not intify wh any of the above). A metrosexual is a straight man who lik thgs which are tradnally (and perhaps stereotypilly) nnected to gays such as expensive or brand clothg, moisturisers, rg much more about his appearance, etc. Words which are nsired offensive or pejorative and ed – but which you might hear hip-hop songs or movi – clu poof, homo, and fag.

I thk ‘homo’ is que out of date now, the only time I hear the days is when one straight male iend pliments another straight male:. Homophobic hate crime – A ‘hate crime’ is when a vlent or threateng act is ma towards someone who is LGBT or perhaps of a mory group society.

Intertgly bible bashg is ed negatively to say a Christian is tryg to impose their beliefs on others, whereas gay bashg scrib vlence agast gay people. Christa Aguilera had a big h wh ‘Betiful’, wrten by a gay song-wrer and which seeks to support those who have been bullied or ridiculed. The Gay Agenda is a pejorative term ed by opponents to say that LGBT people are tryg to take over or ntrol certa elements society orr to fluence mastream opn, the media and polics.

WHY DO GAY MEN SOUND LIKE ~THAT~?

The Gay Agenda is specifilly said to target Christians, who are perceived to be behd the tim and who exprs strong disapproval towards the gay liftyle. Same-sex marriage (or gay marriage) is a topic of major discsn throughout the English-speakg world, pecially Atralia, the USA and the UK. Nb Regardg arguments agast gay marriage, at this stage I haven’t found an article which giv logil reasons for keepg the stutn between a man and a woman.

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

To e out (of the closet) – to tell your iends and/or fay that you are gay or lbian or bisexual; to make known to others that you are gay or lbian. Gay iendly – this term is ed by some f, hotels, rtrants, and other venu to specifilly munite that LGBT people are wele and n feel safe.

I believe that ci like Melbourne, London, Sydney etc there is ls of a need to advertise as ‘gay iendly’ though is a way to ga bs, as some venu advertise on gay webs. Intertgly, some venu that advertise as gay iendly have a separate landg page which gays n click and fd, yet the ma webse do not mentn beg gay iendly. On the other hand, ’s also been ed by at least one straight woman to say that her place (on AirBnb) is only for straights and exclus gays (source).
