Jingthing Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 My problem with these people is that they took a word "gay" and distorted its original meaning to one indicating sexual deviancy. I wonder where gay in the gay context came from and when. The '60s I think. In the '50s I lived next door to a family the surname being Parsons , the youngest daughter was called Gay. I bet she wished she had been Christened , Jim, John anything but Gay. Well, here is one explanation which gels with what I've heard before: With these new definitions, the original meanings of “carefree”, “joyful”, and “bright and showy” were still around; so the word was not exclusively used to refer to prostitutes or a promiscuous man. Those were just accepted definitions, along with the other meanings of the word. Around the 1920s and 1930s, however, the word started to have a new meaning. In terms of the sexual meaning of the word, a “gay man” no longer just meant a man who had sex with a lot of women, but now started to refer to men who had sex with other men. There was also another word “gey cat” at this time which meant a homosexual boy. http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2010/02/how-gay-came-to-mean-homosexual/ Words change meaning over time. Gay is hardly unusual that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yllorco Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Third gender? There is no legal term for it. Perhaps it will come when majority of lawmakers are in this category. Wait for it. The world is becoming degenerate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
