GAY means gay (n.), gay (adj), especially GAY(2② bright or attractive), gay and happy. In fact, the third explanation extends the meaning of debauchery. For example, gay friends refers to a dissolute and improper friend. 4 happy. Like a foreign children's song, the lyrics are "we are gay, we are gay." But now the happiness that HAPPY refers to is very different from happiness, and it refers to unfair and improper happiness. At the same time, homosexuality and queer both mean homosexuality in English. However, because the word homosexuality was once the background of a "mental illness", it gradually evolved into a derogatory meaning, and it gradually became obsolete. Gay, in English, not only means "happy", "cheerful" or "happy", but also refers to homosexuality. In use, the original meaning of "happiness" is basically no longer used in daily life, except that the original accident can be used when quoting literary works created in the past, or banter and word games can be removed. [Edit this paragraph] The English etymological word "Gay" has had sexual significance since at least19th century (maybe earlier). In Victorian England, both women and men were called "homosexuals" (because they were brightly dressed). So in the end, "gay" became the name of all gay men. In the United States, the term may come from the tramp group: a young tramp, or a "gay cat" or an "intermittent cat", often has to make friends with another older and experienced tramp in order to get a chance to learn and survive. There is sex in this relationship, so "gay cat" means "young gay". Among these earliest "homosexuals", Thomas collingwood is the most famous. He is a chubby musician with a face like an angel. After long-term unemployment, he fell into a difficult life. Gertrude Stein wrote in Miss Fur&; The introduction in Mrs. skeen (1922) is probably the earliest traceable usage of this word, although it is not sure whether she refers to lesbianism or happiness. They are … gay, they seldom learn how to be gay, … they are totally gay. They are ... gay, they have learned some little things about homosexuality, ... they are quiet and happy regularly. Noel Coward's musical Bitter Sweet is the first time that this word has been used without controversy. In the song "Green Carnation", four people dressed as playboys in the 1890 s sang: beautiful boys, smart boys, you may laugh at our depravity, arrogant boys, naughty boys, dear! Fascinated by emotions ... that's why we were called gay in the 1990s. We all wear green carnations. Beautiful boy, witty boy, you may laugh at our disintegration. Arrogant boy, naughty boy, dear, dear, dear! Be carried away by love ... because we are the reason why "post-90 s" became gay, we all wear green carnival. Cowell used "gay 90 s" as a pun. The name of this song implies the gay playwright Wilde, who is famous for wearing green carnations. [Edit this paragraph] Taiwan Province Province In Taiwan Province Province, gay has generally become one of the terms used to address itself within the gay community, but it is also acceptable outside the group. However, gay has never been a term used to refer to lesbians at the same time, or at least it has not been widely accepted. Lesbian groups will call themselves lesbians. Usually when talking about the word gay, Lazi will be a relative noun. There is no accurate Chinese translation of English "gay" in Taiwan Province province at present. Some people think that homosexuality is a possible translation word for gay, but gay in Taiwan Province province includes lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transsexuals and even dissidents like BDSM, while gay only refers to gay men.

[Edit this paragraph] Hong Kong is in Hong Kong, and the Chinese translation of gay is gay. However, this Chinese title is derogatory because it is often used in a sarcastic tone. [Edit this paragraph] gay in Chinese mainland generally does not refer to lesbians in mainland usage, and the name of lesbians is similar to that in Taiwan Province Province. The original English text rarely appears in official articles, and is replaced by homosexuality or gay men. The word "comrade" often appears now. Accordingly, the word "crooked" was derived. Why is gay called crooked compared with the word "straight" commonly used in English? Straight man, which means straight man in Chinese, seems to be a metaphor for heterosexuals to go straight on the road of sexual orientation, so they are straight men. Non-heterosexual people are of course "curved", which is also a metaphor and a bit self-deprecating. In addition, there are C (English consent word sissy) and MAN in the group of gay, which indicate the degree of femininity or masculinity of a GAY, and this gender temperament is not absolutely related to the gender role classification of GAY (0, 1, 0.5); But generally speaking, 0 is still negative, 1 is positive, and 0.5 is somewhere in between. In addition, in practice, there will be many points from 0 to 1, for example, some people call themselves 0.6 or 0.3; There are also many points in gender temperament from c to man.

When making nouns, they usually appear in the plural to describe groups, such as "gays and lesbians". The singular or minority is much less common, such as "he is gay" or "there are two homosexuals". This usage sometimes indicates that the speaker is slightly derogatory or joking. [Edit this paragraph] Related definitions Many people are curious about the gay community. Generally speaking, they are no different from heterosexual groups, because since this is a natural reversal of "random occurrence", there is no law to follow. But they also have some characteristics: the average intelligence is higher than that of ordinary people (see Ellis survey), and some of them are quite high. Some people have a deep understanding of art, especially music. Among music and art majors, the proportion of homosexuals is higher than other groups. There are countless gay celebrities in history. Many people don't understand Plato's so-called "spiritual love" because they don't know much about ancient Greek social studies. If you know that it means homosexuality to some extent, it is not difficult to understand. Leonardo da Vinci, the most famous Italian Renaissance artist, engineer, scientist, philosopher and inventor, and his contemporary Michelangelo were all gay. Michelangelo fell madly in love with a young aristocrat named cavalieri, and their love almost spread all over the city. Cavalieri is the father of George W. cavalieri, and George W. cavalieri is the composer who later wrote Seven Expressions of the Soul (whose name is unclear). Bacon, a great British philosopher, is considered gay. Wilde was a well-known homosexual. He was in prison for independence. Ludwig II, a gay man who supported Wagner, and the housekeeper both committed suicide by jumping into the river. French writer Cocqueteaux is bisexual. Whitman and Dickinson, great American poets, are almost certainly gay. Many people turn a blind eye to many obvious evidences in order to support their so-called orthodox positions. The same thing happened to the great Russian composer Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky. He was forced to commit suicide because he fell in love with his nephew. But many people in the music and history circles would rather accept the flawed record of his death from cholera. Bernstein, a great conductor as famous as karajan, once lived with his teacher Copland. In addition, the writer Woolf also has this tendency. French contemporary philosopher Foucault openly gay. British mathematician Turing was persecuted for being gay and died young. He is called the father of computer science.

Needless to say, there are almost endless actresses of emperors in China. Many people know the story of Gan Long and Xiao Shenyang, but they don't find the gay meaning in it. You know, emperors and minions, especially eunuchs, have a strong meaning. King Ding of Zhou had a "naked alliance", leaving the word "Longyang" and a scene of "Jade Tao", while Emperor Ai of Han Dynasty and Dong Xian left stories of "Broken Sleeves". BrokeBack Mountain deliberately translated English back into "arm" and turned it into Brokeback Mountain, which actually echoed this allusion. During the Republic of China, women's organizations such as Jin in Guangzhou were also places of great significance. Speaking of the East, Leslie Cheung and Bai Xianyong, two contemporary people, are openly gay, and their noble personalities have long been respected by the society. Further east, there is a homosexual relationship at Kawabata Yasunari University in Japan. In Yukio Mishima, homosexuality is so obvious that it is exposed. These are as common as birthplaces and schools. Judgment and analysis: Homosexuality today should be distinguished from family instigation, confession, talent instigation and homosexual friendship in ancient times. Prying is basically from external sexual orientation rather than instinctive consciousness. Ancient emperors often favored someone because of their consorts' family background, but they often gave up their favor because of their decline and demise. Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, favored by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, are typical consorts. There is also a kind of confidant or brotherhood, which should be separated. Otherwise, people with brotherly feelings in history can be called homosexuals, such as treating heroes and confidants. A typical example is "Li Shimin and Liu Hongji often travel together and lie in the same bed", but this is not homosexual behavior, but a bosom friend based on communication, ambition and thinking orientation. Homosexual behavior includes sharing a bed and homosexual intimacy, but people sharing a bed and homosexual intimacy are by no means equal to homosexual behavior. Rewarding eunuchs is an affirmation of their service. For example, an emperor or monarch, who has served alone since childhood, is uncomfortable when he grows up and loves to serve alone. This is a habitual tendency, not an instinctive orientation at the same level. In ancient books, the definition of a courtier and Toy Boy: Some monarchs and emperors like to be with men who don't discuss state affairs under the premise of having many beautiful women in the harem, and there are often descriptions of people who are sleeping with them. Some emperors put down their airs, talked with their admired scholar and confidant Kan Kan, and slept together at night. This kind of person favored by the emperor is often despised by historians and etiquette officials. It is enough if the favored object has a prominent position, but people with humble status and no practical achievements are usually described as favored courtiers. This also shows that some people who have made no contribution to the country and society will certainly be among the courtiers if they are favored by the emperor to please him. That's Toy Boy. Ancient historical records only describe courtiers as a group of people who are not favored by the state, which is far from the definition of homosexuality. Nor can it be generalized. As soon as the emperor approached men, he was classified as gay. Favored eunuchs and courtiers are often defined by the emperor's appreciation of talents who are not responsible for governing the country and keeping the country safe. Li Yannian sings so well that everyone in the palace likes him. He was appointed as a court musician and was appreciated by the emperor. If the courtiers or civilians appreciate his songs, they will not be classified as courtiers, but the emperor appreciates them. Whenever he listened to them, as his confidant, in the view of the minister, it affected the emperor's politics and country. In fact, it is a kind of discrimination against such people by literary historians. The accurate standard of homosexuality: 1: pure conscious homosexuality 2: people who are inclined to homosexuality without external factors; 3. Exclude those who are favored by the appreciated talents and abilities; 4. Exclude those who are favored by relatives because of the continuation of consorts; 5. Exclude people who are close because of brotherhood or finding intimate friends; 6. Exclude those who are favored for their long-term service.
