Homosexual Terms

As any subject in this world has its own special terms or jargons, so does the subject of homosexuality. There are certain jargons that are used by the homosexual community alone, others outside this community will have no clue to their meanings. Many of these terms are too vulgar or crude to mention in the public.

Now let's have a little peek at some of the homosexual terms.

• Terminology of Homosexuality
• Common Terms in the Homosexual and Transgendered Community
• Definition of Terms Associated with Homosexuality
• Homosexual Terms in the 18th Century Dictionaries
