The difference between gay & lesbian

If you have something so weird, strange or off-topic to post and think it doesn't belong in any other forum; you're probably right. Please put all your gormless, half-baked, inane, glaikit ideas in here. This might also be a place where we throw threads that appear elsewhere that don't belong ANYWHERE end up, instead of having to flush them. FORUM RULES STILL APPLY.

The difference between gay & lesbian

Post by Yobbo »

I was invited to the Sydney gay & lesbian Mardi Gras last Saturday & had a good night.
What i can't figure out is what is the difference between gay & lesbian.
Considering some of the posters here are such whinging bitches complaining about watermarks & how many expats are on line, I'm curious to know your definition.
Burp!

The difference? Isn't "gay" generally used for homosexual men and "lesbian" used for homosexual women? Beyond that, no idea.

I'm under the impression that sodomites (which is bible for bummers) are against God's clean laws, therefore going to hell and lesbians, who have something to do with a Greek island, don't exist because Queen Victoria didn't believe in them.

Or something.

I doubt the OP has wasted hours researching it and probably won't lose sleep if they don't get a definite answer on here, but I've always considered "gay" to be appropriate to refer to both men and women, and "lesbian" is obviously a word only used to describe women.

Yeah, I'm wondering the same.


@GM Yes, I'm pretty sure "gay" can be used for either, but in the phrase "gay and lesbian" it is clearly referring to men because "lesbian" is exclusively female.

LoL, I thought the whole thing was a successful attempt at humour that had me chuckle when I read it.

Maybe obvious, but in one couple you have one dick too many, in the other, you're just one short (choose me!) :please:
