Different ways to say Gay in Spanish
1. Maricón – This term is considered offensive by many people, so use caution when using it. It literally translates to “faggot” but can be used as an insult for anyone, regardless of their sexual orientation.
2. Afeminado – This term means effeminate and refers specifically to men who display feminine attributes or characteristics. Some might find this insulting and therefore should be avoided if possible.
3. Homosexual – This word directly translates from English into Spanish and carries the same meaning of being attracted romantically or sexually towards members of the same sex/gender identity group as oneself, regardless of gender expression or presentation (e.g., masculine-presenting lesbian).
4. Gay – Although not a literal translation into Spanish, “gay” is widely recognized throughout Latin American countries, particularly among younger generations that have been exposed more frequently to Western media and language trends than other age groups may have been historically exposed too.
5. Lesbiana – This specific word for lesbian in Spanish does not provide any information about gender identity itself; instead it only references romantic/sexual attraction between women without consideration for how they express themselves outwardly (i..e., masculine presenting lesbians).
6. Bisexual– Translating directly from English into Spanish, bisexual describes individuals who experience attraction both romantically/sexually towards members of their own sex/gender identity group as well as members outside their own sex/gender identity group(s) (e.g., male-identifying people attracted both males & females).
7. Queer – Another imported term from English which has gained traction within certain Latin American countries over recent years.
