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.

Gay A: “Hoy, Bakla, me That’s Entertainment ka ba?”

Gay B: “Naku, Washington Sycip. Purita Kalaw ang lolah mo

ngayon”

Gay A: “Rampa sana aketch. Go Bingo ka, ate?”

Gay B: “ Ayyyy, Wishing, Pagoda Cold Wave Lotion ako.”

Everyone who got what they were saying, raise your hands!

    The sources answer the question of how has society adapted it’s the view of gay rights over time. The sources show how in the early 1900’s, society was not accepting at all of homosexual individuals. The source “Havelock Ellis on Gay Life in the American City (1915)” talks about how homosexual people were called sexually inverse, and how they were viewed as sexual predators. It describes how many, who wear the red neckties of the inverse, are also male prostitutes. As the 20th century progressed, some movement towards acceptance was made. In the source “James Justen Recalls Growing Up Gay in the 1950s”, Justen tells of how he remained closeted throughout high school, and then came out to his parents after. He was lucky, his parents were very…

    “All stereotypes turn out to be true… All those things you fought against as a youth: you begin to realize they’re stereotypes because they’re true.” (David Cronenberg) In What are Homosexuals For?, Andrew Sullivan mentions that making generalizations about homosexuals is synonymous with being homophobic. Maybe today’s society is too sensitive to acknowledge the validity of most…

    Most sociological theories presume that once a deviant or criminal act has been committed then the response will be uniform, however this is not the case as people respond differently to deviance or rule breaking. In the early 1960’s gay men were more likely to be stigmatised than now. John Kitsuse interviewed 75 heterosexual students to obtain their responses to (presumed) sexual advances from gay men. The point of this was to show that there was no agreed definition of what constituted a homosexual advance it was open to negotiation.…

    The concept that I have chosen to focus on for this week’s journal article is “gendered homophobia” that comes from the Dude You’re a Fag reading (Pascoe, 128 2005). This concept explains that sometimes it is okay for one sex to act a certain way but not the other. In the article the author tells us that the boys that she interviewed stated how they hated guys who were gay but not girls who were gay (Pascoe, 2005). For example the author states, “For example, while Jake, a handsome white senior, told me that he didn’t like gay people, he quickly added, “Lesbians are cool though” (Pascoe, 128 2005). From this you can see that guys see it to be okay for girls to be gay but to not accept it if a guy is gay. The author goes on to explain that some…

    The first widely used term, homosexual, originally carried negative connotations. It was replaced by homophile in the 1950s and 1960s,[18] and subsequently gay in the 1970s; the latter term was adopted first by the homosexual community.[12] Lars Ullerstam promoted use of the term sexual minority in the 1960s,(sv) as an analogy to the term ethnic minority for…

    Among the gay subculture there is a difference between gay and homosexual. Homosexual has a negative connotation because it has been used as a diagnostic label by many clinicians, concerns only to sexual orientation, and is frequently accompanied by a negative self-image. The word gay has come to indicate an attitude of positive self-acceptance, which includes affection, emotions, life-style, and political perspective as well as sexual orientation (Beane, 1981).…

    Heterosexual Americans uniformly disparaged gays as deviant and morally reprehensible. The American Psychiatric Association categorized homosexuality as a “mental disorder,” a position it did not jettison until 1973. Taking the psychological stereotyping a step further, Time magazine viewed homosexuality as “a pernicious sickness.” “If you were gay and you accepted those societal norms, then you were at war with yourself,” stated one college student as he recalled his own struggle to come to terms with his homosexuality. Exposure as a homosexual or lesbian could mean losing everything—job, spouse, friends, and social…

    In the article “Biculturality and Homosexuality”, Carl A. Lukes and Helen Land first summarize the many previous theories of cultural identity, then go on to define the link between a minority’s culture and how it effects the minority if he or she is a homosexual. Lukes and Land both go on to state how the process of bicultural socialization for homosexuals varies widely from other minority group members, and both spend the next several pages convincing us of this statement.…

    Let’s not get too bent out of shape" by John McWhorter and "Queer Evolution: Word Goes Mainstream" by Martha Irvine prove that the words that have changed can unify and discriminate people. In McWhorter's article has negative effect on black. McWhorter notes, "The reason is that Modern American English increasingly has a way of saying “black criminal"(Para 11). The note means that thug only directed towards black race. He also points out that "white thug" cannot be found because thug only means black. The thug definition is ironic due to its proper meaning and how this word applies in the present. However, in Irvine's article queer has positive effect . Using the term queer unify them with people goes with same or similar category and they are confident on implying this term on them. This term queer does not hurt them by the reason of it is who they are. "Edwards, from Houston, says he likes when straight people are comfortable using it"(Irvine 24). In Jay Edward's perspective, the queer brings comfortable to all sexual orientation except homosexual. The other instance, Rohr from Boston, believes the only one word that sideline him is queer because he thinks that lost its meaning and formed a new meaning(Irvine 26-7). In McWhorter's and Irvine's article, conveys how the evolved words affect on people because they are implying these terms on themselves or on…

    When someone hears the word “gay” or “queer”, they most often think of the middle class, Caucasian gay male. For my research proposal, I plan on studying what is very often overlooked in queer identity: the struggle of queer identity in the African American gay male. I am interested in studying this because I grew up knowing I was gay in a small, middle class town in rural America. I wish to argue how gay African Americans are restricted by Black stereotypes, gay stereotypes, acceptance with stipulations in the gay community and black community, racism in the gay community, homophobia in the Black community, perceptions of blackness and masculinity attitudes toward homosexuality and their effect on gay Black men living openly, homosexuality and religion (the black church), and media perceptions of Black homosexuality. The majority of the black community stated they wished to live restriction free lives. They are not able to fully be themselves in their daily lives and often have to assimilate to be accepted.…

    Gay, a word with multiple meanings: A person who is merry and happy, a person who is a homosexual, something that is lame or stupid, and a word that can be used for degrading. Over time this word has been molded and shaped into different meanings in all sorts of directions. The different meanings honestly have no similarities to each other, which makes it strange to see such a word as happy go to meaning a homosexual. It is strange to see such a word go from meaning happy to a word that can be offensive to someone who is actually homosexual. The word gay doesn’t have just one definition anymore it has three, four and maybe more in other cases. Gay’s most common meanings are happy, homosexuals, stupid, and referring to someone as gay and degrading them.…
