GAY DICTNARY AIKAANS

Wh the passage of time has acquired s own characteristics, sce has assiated words om English, Malay, Portugue and the Zulu languag of the nativ of the area, as you n see our Aikaans Gay Ai, after Apartheid and over the years, has bee one of the ma untri where LGBT rights are protected, crimalizg homosexualy, allowg equal marriage, civil unns, adoptn and legislatg agast the employment discrimatn, etc.

This has meant that pecially large ci such as Cape Town and Durban the LGBT muny is socially accepted, however ral areas, the picture is different sce gay people are still asslted and lbians suffer “rrective vlatns”. Years ago, a lack of unrstandg homosexualy, ma that var forms of sexual diversy were nfed, so often homosexuals were lled hermaphrod. Sce the premiere of Brokeback Mounta, s ed to talk about the men who explore homosexual sex the boy sut ntext, or men who go to monta to fish or hunt and end up beg hunted behd after a bge near the firelight ? is also ed English-speakg untri exprsed as Rectal Ranger.

Contug our study on LGBT slangs English, there is a very tertg variatn spoken South Ai and the Cape Town regn lled Gayle language.

SOUTH AI’S GAYLE

Bee of the historilly actured nature of South Ain society, polarised along racial and lguistic l, two distct gay “languag” have veloped parallel.

CONNIE, SALLY AND PRISCILLA: GAY SLANG SOUTH AI

Black gay men the township have their own language, based on Sotho/Nguni, and the whe/loured/Indian gay men have veloped an Indo-European versn, based on English/Aikaans. Very ltle rearch has been nducted the township variety, known as “Isigqumo”, but the other versn, known as “Gayle”, is a field which a lot of study is currently beg nducted.

[Gayle is a] ‘language’ which emerged primarily om the whe and loured gay male populatns of Cape Town durg the apartheid years. Wh s roots ‘moffie’ drag culture, the ‘language’ of Gayle, was last studied by Ken Cage his 1999 MA dissertatn for the Rand Aikaans Universy, An vtigatn to the form and functn of language ed by gay men South Ai which was the precursor to his 2003 book Gayle: the language of kks and queens: a history and dictnary of gay language South Ai, the only dictnary of Gayle.

Gayle’s origal functn, to give whe and loured gay men a language of secrecy to be able to talk to one another public whout facg prosecutn as well as to have an -group language of belongg, is changg post-apartheid South Ai.

HOW TO SAY GAY AIKAANS

Wh LGBTI (Lbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgenr, Intergenr) rights improvg South Ai (same-sex marriag were legalised 2006 makg the fifth untry the world and the first Ai to do so), the origal functn of Gayle, for speakers to avoid prosecutn, is no longer a legal threat. Wh more people openly sharg their sexual orientatn and South Ain cizens general beg more ted and acceptg of a variety of sexual orientatns, Gayle ntu to change. Highly fluenced by Polari as well as Aikaans, has bee popular bee, so Luyt’s work nclus, by a certa mastream fluence on South Ain gay culture, like TV shows such as RuPl’s Drag Race.

BLACK GAY SLANG, EXPLAED TO SUBURBAN WHE PEOPLE

Th, gay language Cape Town is still part of the gay muny for those who embrace as a way of makg light of past atroci and their own sexualy, g now for entertament and humour purpos as well as a form of group hn and solidary. […] The l between language and Gayle/‘gay language’ have blurred over time and so much is beg part of ‘mastream’ society that is difficult to say where Gayle/‘gay language’ starts and ends. Gayle is therefore not a language the tradnal sense, but a lavenr lexin, a stat which uld be dimishg the current climate.
