Spanish for gay

We recommend you to listen to this artist, she’s a lesbian reggaeton singer and she uses a lot of slang in our community. Here’s a complete Spanish vocabulary list about LGBTQ+. When it comes to slang about the LGTBQI+ community, remember we are always talking about words that have been used as an insult, for discriminate against our community, but now we have taken these words and we resignify them.

These terms can vary significantly in their connotations, ranging from playful and affectionate to derogatory and offensive. In fact, Venezuelans commonly use ‘marica’ to mean ‘dude/brother/friend’ - ‘parce/hermano/amigo’ - without any negative connotations whatsoever.

We must insist however that these terms are not to be used as they are offensive.

(n.) lesbiana = a lesbian/gay woman

Women who are physically and emotionally attracted to other women.

It can be used as an ironic or endearing term instead of an insult, meaning that context is what’s most important here. Another translation you can’t really forget! If we want to be as educated as we can be, there are many things that we have to take it upon ourselves to learn through our own research and social interactions. And if you’re learning Spanish, what better way to expand your vocabulary than by learning the correct terms for sexuality and gender to help you understand people and conversations better!

Not everyone is familiar with or comfortable with slang terms. This is the question that will start a conversation with an open mind and an open heart so that you can be sure to get off on the right foot with everyone.
