GAY (ADJ.)

Consirg a recent survey by the Gay & Lbian Alliance Agast Defamatn (GLAAD) found that 12 percent of the populatn intifi as LGBTQIA+, 's more ccial than ever to unrstand the termology around this growg muny. Until somewhat recently, variatns of the term "gay muny" were ed to enpass the entirety of the group that we now refer to as LGBTQIA+.

Magaze, the first acronym to take shape the 1990s was "GLBT, " ed to scribe those who intified as eher gay, lbian, bisexual, or transgenr. " This notatn clus space for those intifyg as lbian, gay, bisexual, transgenr, queer (and some s, "qutng"), tersex, asexual (and sometim "ally"), and the "+" is for a plethora of other orientatns and inti. Before then, the term "gay" was ed to refer to both men and women, although was more closely associated wh men.

Before the latter half of the 19th century, the word "gay" simply referred to someone who was "reee, " "cheerful, " or "bright and showy, " acrdg to The Oxford Dictnary of Difficult Words. Sce then, the word "gay" has fully replaced the term "homosexual, " which many found to be too clil and was riddled wh stigma. Acrdg to the Universy of Illois, "gay" is still ed to scribe a number of thgs, cludg the LGBTQIA+ muny as a whole, a sgle dividual who do not intify as straight, and men who are attracted to other men a "romantic, erotic and/or emotnal sense.

(And, while this should go whout sayg, the ia that intifyg as bisexual is a "way statn" om straight to gay is an accurate and hurtful stereotype.

The "A" LGBTQIA+ n also refer to the term "ally, " which is ed to fe someone who "nonts heterosexism, homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, heterosexual, and genrstraight privilege themselv and others, " acrdg to the Universy of Illois.

And while some might thk the fn of "gay" is simple, to many, actually isn't.

While "gay" n be thought of as a synonym to "homosexual," there is more to the meang of gay than that.

Homosexualy is nsired to be same-sex sexual attractn and behavr and "gay" is a synonym of homosexualy. The term "homosexualy"1 was first ed by Victorian scientists who nsired same-sex sexual attractn and behavr a "moral ficiency."2. Homosexualy is still the rrect term clilly, but even though homosexualy is no longer nsired immoral, some people feel there are still negative overton to the word given s orig.

Gay is a term that is not genr specific so men or women n be termed "gay." When intifyg people as gay though, 's important to nsir three thgs.

For example, a person may feel same-sex sexual attractn but not intify as "gay" whereas another person who behav sexually towards men and women may intify as "gay." Moreover, is not unmon for people to intify as "gay" at some tim their liv, while straight (not gay) at other tim. In other words, rrectly intifyg someone as "gay" is as often a personal choice as much as is a textbook fn.
