QUÉ SIGNIFICA GAY EN INGLÉS

Gay

Gay

Gay es un término que se refiere principalmente a una persona homosexual o el rasgo de ser homosexual. El término se utilizó originalmente para referirse a los sentimientos de ser "despreocupado", "feliz", o "brillante y llamativo". El uso del término como una referencia a la homosexualidad puede fechar ya en el siglo de fines del siglo XIX, pero su uso aumentó gradualmente en el vigésimo siglo. En inglés moderno, el gay ha llegado a ser usado como un adjetivo, y como un sustantivo, refiriéndose a la gente, especialmente a los varones gays, ya las prácticas y culturas asociadas con la homosexualidad. A finales del siglo XX, la palabra gay fue recomendada por los principales grupos de LGBT y guías de estilo para describir a las personas atraídas por miembros del mismo sexo. Alrededor del mismo tiempo, un uso nuevo y peyorativo se hizo predominante en algunas partes del mundo. En la Anglosfera, esta connotación, entre hablantes más jóvenes, tiene un significado burlón equivalente a basura o estúpido. En este uso, la palabra no significa "homosexual", por lo que puede usarse, por ejemplo, para referirse a un objeto inanimado o concepto abstracto del cual uno desaprueba. Este uso puede también referir a la debilidad oa la unmanliness.

Gay is a term that primarily refers to a homosexual person or the trait of being homosexual. The term was originally used to refer to feelings of being "carefree", "happy", or "bright and showy". The term's use as a reference to homosexuality may date as early as the late 19th century, but its use gradually increased in the 20th century. In modern English, gay has come to be used as an adjective, and as a noun, referring to the people, especially to gay males, and the practices and cultures associated with homosexuality. By the end of the 20th century, the word gay was recommended by major LGBT groups and style guides to describe people attracted to members of the same sex. At about the same time, a new, pejorative use became prevalent in some parts of the world. In the Anglosphere, this connotation, among younger speakers, has a derisive meaning equivalent to rubbish or stupid. In this use, the word does not mean "homosexual", so it can be used, for example, to refer to an inanimate object or abstract concept of which one disapproves. This usage can also refer to weakness or unmanliness.

John James Audubon

The gay bunting erects his white crest, and gives utterance to the joy he feels in the presence of his brooding mate; the willow grouse on the rock crows his challenge aloud; each floweret, chilled by the night air, expands its pure petals; the gentle breeze shakes from the blades of grass the heavy dewdrops.

I used to shake my head when I heard about mothers who were shocked - shocked! - when their kids came out.

The liberal feminist movement never imagined that women would take seriously the encouragement to become our own heroes and claim life for ourselves, on our terms, no matter who we are.
