How gays sound like

[thebeave]

Was it a shock when Liberace came out as gay? Not to me, but apparently some people were flabbergasted.

In the OP tittle when it comes to speech by gay do you mean both gay men and lesbian women, or just gay men?

A derogatory for men is effeminate, for women dikes. Dike referring in part to masculine speech by women.

Over here gay can refer to both or specifically men.

Over here the current liberal politically correct inclusive term is LGBTQ+. Using the acronym in speech can be awkward, it doesn't flow. Easier to jjust say gay.
