List of gay slang

GLOSSARY

The terms and definitions below are always evolving, modifying and often mean unlike things to different people. They are provided below as a starting indicate for discussion and comprehension. This Glossary has been collectively built and created by the staff members of the LGBTQIA Resource Center since the preliminary s.

These are not universal definitions. This glossary is provided to help grant others a more thorough but not entirely comprehensive understanding of the significance of these terms. You may even consider asking someone what they represent when they use a term, especially when they use it to depict their identity. Ultimately it is most important that each individual define themselves for themselves and therefore also define a designation for themselves.

“If I didn't define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people's fantasies for me and eaten alive.” -Audre Lorde

This glossary contains terms, such as ableism and disability, that may not be considered directly related to identities of sexuality or gender. These terms are essential to acknowledge as part of our mission to challenge all forms of oppression
