Why do you say GAY instead of HOMOSEXUAL ?
- Inglês (EUA)
Gay is slang for homosexual. It's just less formal. Some people even use it in a negative way: "that's so gay!"

@194400 This is a guess. Homosexuals refer to themselves as 'gay". Homosexual is a proper scientific term, cold. Gay is friendlier sounding. The terms are used interchangeably, but if one is same sex it seems that gay is their preference. You're best answer would come from someone who is gay and ask.

@194400 It's a slang! Also these days they refer to the "homosexual male". for homosexual female they call "lesbian" (also a slang)

@194400 "That's so gay" kinda means "you're such a girl/wuss"(?) Imagine teenage boys saying that to each other. It's less common for adults to say ;)
