List of terms for gay in different languages:

This is a list of terms which are widely used today to refer to “gay” in different languages and which derive from concepts unrelated to homosexuality (e.g. the words “gay” or “pederast”) or its common stereotypes. Their original meanings are also given.

My favorite is the Italian, frocio: “old term for the Swiss Pope guards in Rome.” LINK!

Charles Barkley:

Well, I think they — they want to be judge and jury. Like, I’m for gay marriage. It’s none of my business if gay people want to get married. I’m pro-choice. And I think these Christians — first of all, they’re supposed to be — they’re not supposed to judge other people. But they’re the most hypocritical judge of people we have in this country. And it bugs the hell out of me. They act like their Christians. And they’re not forgiving at all.

Christian Anti-Defamation Commission:
