Yes, I have heard "gay homosexual" in the context of a "happy homo" by a non-heterosexual man.

No, but I was once asked 'So are you gay or lesbian?' which confused me no end.

I don't think so.... pretty redundant, almost to the point of being funny. Unless the person meant a happy homosexual.

Meaning like, just for the joy of redundancy? Hmm. I can't say I've heard it, but many things close to it.

Sure, but not in a derogatory sense. It's like saying, " He's a gay'. It's cute.

When they talk of the gay community around the states, they refer to "the gays and lesbians". I think the men have cornered the "gay" word, while the women have the "lesbian" word. But in a whole, it is still the gay community. Another way the men have control. *sigh* It never ends.
Sort of like when I was at the Michigan Women's Music Festival, there was a very large tent with the sign "Women Of Colour Only". I thought that is just great, here we all are to support one another and there is a group that is segregating.
Nobody really knows what they are talking about.

It does. I think it would be very entertaining to hear someone use the phrase.

No..it's kind of redundant isn't it? Or..is that like saying..you're straight because they cancel out? It's not..but..think about it.

Can you say "Gay" without smiling?


I didn't think so.

Probably in a lame attempt to be funny, I live the country so I'm not surprised with all the stupid stuff people say and do.

Yes and I use the term myself. Especially when talking to my best pal. He thinks it's funny, and yes he is gay. You don't even want to know what he calls me.
