The Gay Thread

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".
