A quick peek at Grdr or Scff will show that there is a nsirable gay populatn hereabouts, yet the cy has jt a handful of gay-equented venu such as El Carmen, a iendly ltle fé-bar wh an outdoor terrace on Plaza la Merced, jt a splash of pat away om Pisso’s birthplace. Onwards, head across the street to the La Nogalera area, where venue upon venue ter to the full gay spectm, cludg small and timate drkg ns, outrageoly mp show bars, cise clubs wh darkrooms, and ravg all-night dance clubs.

Although is not a well-known word and prciple seemed a lolism (sce seems to be ed by the heterosexual men Andalia to refer to a homosexual the closet), the first reference was found the 50s Mexi, the 70s Colombia and Spa the e of flower nam as a phemism or as an sult is also found other languag such as English, wh terms like Daisy, Pansy and Buttercup, whereas Spa the e of generic word “flor” (flower) and s variatns is more equent to pot homosexuals. Keep md that the Roman Empire the Greek homosexual nstctn system, teacher-pupil, beme the master-slave system, which socially allows men sodomize his slav, and generally, homosexual behavr whenever was active (top anal terurse).

There are two possible explanatns for the orig of the slang, on the one hand there are those who say that om the u bris peach or aprit, which is very easy to open, related to the alleged ease wh which gay men put their butts to be fucked.

GAY DICTNARY SPANISH

Although generally appli to the ic, grotque, absurd, funny, etc., relat to homosexualy by the issue we discsed the term Maricón, about the stereotype of sissy, an effemate man, harmls and wh which make fun at his expense. recent term ed Pe belongg to the LGBT slang, to refer to a kd of gay that a certa sector nsirs “more morn”, discreet, mascule, who n be active (top) anal terurse, as opposed to the feme homosexual, transvte, borrg transsexualy, always passive (bottom) sex, crazy, and probably lookg for mostaceros.

the word Can appears the poem by Feri García Lor “Oda a Walt Whman” endg wh a seri of words, or rather sults, we supposed ed to pot gay men of the time: “Faeri Norteaméri, pájaros la Habana, jotos Méji, sarasas Cádiz, aps Sevilla, ns Madrid, floras Alinte, alaidas Portugal”. term for gay men ed Bolivia, probably related to karaoke bars, but we do not know if is related wh homosexualy for beg a ls mascule activy for a particular sector of the untry, or for the karaoke bars type of dience Bolivia, full of gay people. Beg Cásra amarga, is a rogatory idm ed to pot homosexual or effemate man, probably bee is generally applied, faiar form, to people of very advanced ias or nghty and brave, makg a semantic leap to homosexual man pecially if he is an activist.

By the time there was a semantic leap and the word Chongo acquired the meang of lover Paraguay, brothel Pe and Ecuador, where also has the meang of meetg or funny and sndalo act (as an y), as well as the top/active man homosexual relatnship, as we have already said, Argenta. In addn, the two untri and nowadays, Cola is slang for the ass, however, another explanatn, such as the relatnship of the tail wh the penis, should not be disrd sce other languag such as the Danish, the word Svan means tail and is a slang for the penis and is also slang for homosexual man. Word of Mapuche orig, giv s name to a type of th reed and which is also ed wh the sense of agile, skny, wimpy, weak, etc., so is possible that there has been the ual semantic leap om negative characteristics of some men to all gay people, by the mere fact of beg.

GAY ANDALUCIA

But whout neglectg the tradnal relatnship of flowers wh the feme and the e of flower nam as slang for homosexual men, such as “Amapolo” Spanish or “Pansy” the English language, is possible that this slang had s orig meangs and of the word flora that go back, at least, to the prev century. Flora, bis referrg to the plant world and the poetic work of a wrer, has also been synonymo wh tenr, soft, etc., and so we fd a publitn of 1868-1869 entled “Los Borbon en Pelota” (Naked Bourbons) a satiril and pornographic work signed by the psdonym SEM and attributed, not whout discsn, to the Bécquer brothers, which was clud a popular song that suated the homosexualy of the Kg nsort Francis Asís Borbón that said th:.

Tenrns, softns, smoothns, general, are characteristics socially attributed to women sce ancient tim and that turn to sults directed agast the men we would today ll homosexuals, agast those who uld be for their effemacy or agast any man you want to sult highlightg his ltle manhood.

· The most mon theory is that which refers to the Mexin prison the cy of Lecumberry, acrdg to which homosexuals were locked the “J” sectn, although there are also those who say that was bee that sectn were locked the imprisoned by the famo “Dance of the 41”.

K’ewsa is a term of Quechua / Aymara orig ed Bolivia today wh the pejorative meang of homosexual or effemate man, although we have found translated as a ward, ward who beats women, chue (twisted) and other ems that dite appropriate behavr. It is a term that has bee the center of the bate on homosexual behavr pre-Columbian societi, between those who argue that homosexualy is imported and therefore ny that the word meant somethg like “homosexual” orig, and those who see the existence of this term, a clear evince to the ntrary. Sce the Spanish dictatorship Maricón also was ed, to a greater extent, to refer to homosexual men wh mascule attu, and this greater visibily was precisely that mak the Maricón had ls social acceptance that the Mariqua, more feme, wh whom make fun (cludg sex) and therefore ls dangero.

Although currently the DRAE retas the meang of effemate man and do not clu the meang of sult to homosexual men, is a fairly mon sult ed agast any man, gay or not, effemate or not, and even as an affectnate joke between macho-man iends.

There are those who affirm that the relatnship wh the beetle is that mak perforatns (peratns) the rnfields, even that has to do wh the bright lors of the sect relatn to the bright and strint lors of homosexual men, a relatnship that we disrd sce this slang is clearly ed to refer to mascule men.

The first wrten reference we have found of the word mayate related to homosexualy is found 1904 a text by Carlos Roumagnac “Crimals Mexi: say of crimal psychology” which talks about mayat and hors as slang exprsns of the prison environment, beg Mayate the men who perform the top role and the hors the men who played the bottom role. In addn to the animal, duck also means a clumsy person, whout grace, that not learns, dumb and teased, and as happens so many sults, the negative characteristics of some men are transferred to homosexual men simply bee they are so.
