The gay pride debate...

[Jeff H]

I NEVER talk that way either.

Except around my girlfriend Marky, of course. You know her? Miss Thing...?

Marky, Nicky and Jeff.

Thank you all for help me on this language matters.

As time goes by, I'm pretty much close to understand what do you say.........apparently!! :lol:

Peace

There is a great flashback book, if it is still in print, entitled, The Queen's Vernacular...it is like the Bible of Gaydom and is thick and really long (hmmmm...) to read. I saw it a number of years ago, and had no idea what 90 per cent of the book was referring to as much of it was written about the language that was really buried and since lost in the underground bar scenes back in the 40's and 50's era, like " are you a friend of Dororthy's" - a password/code to gain you access into a gay bar. I think most gayspeak is kinda outmoded in that sense now, as more and more folks are OUT and don't have to hide anymore and if the language is used at all, most times it is used to get a jolt out of a non-gay person or for laughs among friends...as we do here!
