用法
The word gay is now standard in its use to refer to the American homosexual community and its members; in this use it is generally lowercased. Gay is distinguished from homosexual in emphasizing the cultural and social aspects of homosexuality. Many writers reserve gay for male homosexuals, but the word is also used to refer to homosexuals of both sexes; when the intended meaning is not clear in the context, the phrase gay and lesbian should be used. Like the other names of social groups that are derived from adjectives (e.g., Black ), gay may be regarded as offensive when used as a noun to refer to particular individuals, as in There were two gays on the panel; here a phrase such as gay people should be used instead. But there is no objection to the use of the noun in the plural to refer to the general gay community, as in Gays have united in opposition to the policy. See Usage Note at homosexual
單詞gay 其用法已被普遍接受， 指的是美國的同性戀團體及其成員；在這種用法中，它一般小寫。Gay 區別於 homosexual， 前者強調同性戀者的文化和社會方面。許多作家把gay 限定於男性同性戀者， 但這個單詞也可用於指兩種性別的同性戀者，當上下文的言外之意不太明確時，詞組同性戀男性和同性戀女性 可以被使用。 就像其他從形容詞派生來的社會群體名詞一樣（如，黑人 ）， gay 如果當作為一個名詞使用，指一些特殊的個體時，可能會被認為帶有攻擊性， 如在There were two gays on the panel； 在此處應該用詞組gay people 來代替。 但是並沒有人反對其名詞的複數形式，指一般的同性戀團體，如句子同性戀者們已經團結起來對抗政策 參見 homosexual
