The Gay Thread - Page 98

See, but I hate the word queer. (Just as I hate the word "straight") Both imply something wrong with gay people. And I guess I just don't like the sound of it.

I prefer "fag" - yeah, I know its etymology and that's really disturbing. But the word itself does not mean odd or bent or unnatural. It means wood. And, frankly, that's the part of a fag I kinda like the best.

Until reading the posts in this thread today, I had never heard "homosexual" used to specifically connote males.
To me, "gay" is like "mankind" in that it really does refer to both genders, but some people insist it's just talking about dudes. Whatever, I have more important battles to fight.
Lesbian has always been strictly female.
"Queer" is the umbrella term. It can refer to anything on the Kinsey scale above 0.1 as well as transgender, questioning, and even heterosexuals who feel they have a 'queer sensibility".

"Homosexual" tends to be unisex, but "homo" tends to be male.

Maybe I need to start paying better attention. My perception has been that "homosexual" was biased towards male specific usage. Maybe I'm biased against The Gays™

Yeah for small victories!

Ghoulish Delight · 02-04-2011, 02:09 PM

Overall, it probably is biased that way - again mostly because for quite a while, only male homosexuals were considered "really" homosexual, with female homosexuality having a long history of flying under the radar. But the phrase "homosexual male" is one I hear pretty commonly, to distinguish from the general "homosexual". And really, the broad use of "homosexual" (as opposed to gay, fag, homo, queer) is generally by people with some level of respect, which means they ARE being inclusive.

What about "rope smoker" - where does that fit in?

SzczerbiakManiac · 02-04-2011, 02:18 PM

I'll show you where it fits...!
