This descriptive one-shot survey study was designed to find out the
influence of gay jargon on the acceptability of male homosexuals in an
urban setting. It presented the non-gay respondents’ awareness and
sources of gay jargon. It also determined what aspect of gay personality
the gay jargon concentrates on.
The one hundred (100) multi-sectoral non-gay respondents were
categorized according to their exposure to the group.
The percentage, ranking, weighted mean, chi-square and the
analysis of variance (anova) for the one-way classification were used to
analyze and interpret the data gathered.
Regardless of the non-gay respondents’ level of exposure to the
gays, they were found to have a consensus in accepting the gays and their
jargon. All of the categories of gay jargon were accepted by the
respondents. The more a non-gay is exposed to gays, the more current is
his use of the gay jargon.
Based on the findings of the study, gay jargon is now popular among
many people in the urban setting and the researchers hope that this
research work on language of male homosexuals would generate
enthusiasm for future researches on the peculiarities of the unique
language of the gays.
