Homosexual

BabyPhat21 · 05-07-2003, 02:10 AM

who is a homosexual here also bisexual???

I am not.....but I grew up by SF so I am cool

In my Deaf Culture class - something caught my attention about the gay/lesbian signs - that they dont like it and problems because they have their dual culture - the homosexual and the deaf culture.......I was wondering how do you feel and how is it for you??? Forgive me if I am not making sense here.

Well, I'm gay.

I'm not sure about what you mean about the signs, but I think it is pretty much the same for hearing gay ppl. If a straight person calls them a faggot, it's like calling black ppl the n word. But within the gay world, a gay calling other gay a faggot, it's viewed as a joke. I know that double standard exists and thats what sucks really.

As for signs, I know some ppl dont like the "G" on chin for gay, so they fingerspell GAY instead. Me, I just sign "G" on chin, it doesn't matter to me. I don't like the sign for "faggot" though, or even this word at all. I think it has a psychological aspect associated with this word, a very negative one.

I hope I am making sense and answering your question somewhat.

I do remmy name of community like GLBT in some places. GLBT (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, & Transexual). Some ppl choice only Gay and Lesbian for some reasons.
For my theory, bisexual still part of homosexual even hetrosexual, too. I still welcome bisexuality ppl into Gay/Lesbian world.

Im not. In Chicago theres a area called Boystown. Its a gay/bi/lesbian community. So Im cool with it. I been there a couple times when I when to get something to eat for the a party at my friend's dorm. First time I was nervous cuz it was near holloween and they were all dressed up. My cousin was with me nearly leaving me behind. Now im use to it and i got friends that are gay and lesbian. They are cool and funny as hell.

well I heard in my deaf culture class that there is some controversy about how to sign Lesbian... I think there was a journal article......I will post it up here later........I was just wondering......if you heard anything about it or how you feel about it???

Mizzou · 05-11-2003, 11:45 AM

Well I do see different of "lesbain" in signs. I think it is crazy see "L" on cheek! I would say it on the chin but me :x I am out of the closet as lesbian but prefer call me as gay. geez

allisonjoy · 05-11-2003, 09:22 PM

05-11-2003, 09:32 PM

@Allisonjoy this thread is not about if you have GLBi friends, it is about what signs are used. What signs do you use for these?

d · 05-11-2003, 11:00 PM

she also asked who is a bi or lesbian or gay.

BabyPhat21 · 05-27-2003, 03:50 AM

interesting......

Lasza · 08-02-2003, 02:55 PM

I think word "Homosexual" is too strong word. Rather use other words instead of that word.
