How Do You Utter "GAY" In Spanish? And Other Languages?
Carryon1
I was wondering, to me at least, in English, gay seems too clinical and the everyday term “gay” is used as more familiar, with the other terms deemed offensive, (the s-word, f-word, q-word etc)
I tried Google but I don’t speak Spanish, so I was thinking, queer might come out as “happy” on a translator?
So how would you utter the equivalent in Spanish. Also do other languages have similar “non-offensive” and “non-clinical” terms for gays?

In my experience, there is no word in Spanish which is both harmless and distinctly un-clinical-sounding. “Homosexual” is the word for both “homosexual” and “gay.”
The English word “gay” is becoming more popular among Spanish speakers to show the latter connotation.

The pos “gai” (meaning “happy” in French originally) seems to be gaining popularity among French speakers to express the same as the English “gay” (homosexual.)

In Japan, some people have adopted the English loan synonyms “gay”, but it doesn’t get used much unless the context is very clear (i.e. talking about gay rights or a gay bar or s

Warm
The synonyms Warm can be translated into English as warm, affectionate, heated, friendly, etc. and at least since the 18th century is a slang that has given rise to a large number of expressions to refer to homosexuality and homosexual people, especially men. Although the written references date from that century it is not ruled out that their start is much earlier.
Since the end of the 18th to the present there have been several attempts to interpret the origin of this slang that we discard. The most curious of these are the conclusions of one of the forerunners of LGBT rights, the sexologist Magnus Hirschfeld, who said that the uranists (that’s what those pioneers called us) had a body temperature higher than the rest of people. Another explanation found is in the fact that homosexual men receive horny with those of their equal sex, and finally, the one that relates the heat with the dangerousness that has always been attributed to homosexuals.
In our view there are two possible origins that are related. The first is explained by the definition of warm, which would be an intermediate temperature between cold and boiling, and the secular dichotomous visi
In the German language, as in many other languages, contemporary homosexual terminology is influenced heavily by English. Hence, for any English speaker, queer German words such as lesbisch, bisexuell, transgender, intersexuell, or asexuell are easily known. The most frequently heard phrase for “gay” in German language, however, which is used both as an affirmative self-identification as well as a slur, is schwul—a term unique to German language and culture. Semantically, schwul is very close to “gay”, mostly being used to allude to to men loving men. Phonetically, schwul is quite similar to schwül, a term used with regards to hot and humid weather conditions with high atmosphere pressure. The proximity of the terms is hardly a coincidence: a slightly old fashioned, yet still occasionally heard derogatory statement is Warmer (lit. warm person) or warme Brüder (lit. affectionate brothers) with regards to lgbtq+ men. A possible explanation and idea behind those words is that gay men are consideration of as being “in heat” when with each other, while their straight peers remain hip in the presence of other men.
Schwul and Schwuler have been appropriated by gay men successfully
