Gay Dictionary German
Warm
The pos Warm can be translated into English as warm, affectionate, heated, friendly, etc. and at least since the 18th century is a slang that has given rise to a large number of expressions to refer to homosexuality and homosexual people, especially men. Although the written references date from that century it is not ruled out that their source is much earlier.
Since the end of the 18th to the present there have been several attempts to interpret the origin of this slang that we discard. The most curious of these are the conclusions of one of the forerunners of LGBT rights, the sexologist Magnus Hirschfeld, who said that the uranists (that’s what those pioneers called us) had a body temperature higher than the rest of people. Another explanation found is in the fact that homosexual men acquire horny with those of their alike sex, and finally, the one that relates the heat with the dangerousness that has always been attributed to homosexuals.
In our view there are two possible origins that are related. The first is explained by the sense of warm, which would be an intermediate temperature between cold and boiling, and the secular dichotomous visi
How Do You Say "GAY" In Spanish? And Other Languages?
Carryon1
I was wondering, to me at least, in English, homosexual seems too clinical and the everyday phrase “gay” is used as more familiar, with the other terms deemed repulsive, (the s-word, f-word, q-word etc)
I tried Google but I don’t speak Spanish, so I was thinking, gay might come out as “happy” on a translator?
So how would you say the equivalent in Spanish. Also do other languages have similar “non-offensive” and “non-clinical” terms for gays?

In my experience, there is no synonyms in Spanish which is both unobjectionable and distinctly un-clinical-sounding. “Homosexual” is the word for both “homosexual” and “gay.”
The English word “gay” is becoming more popular among Spanish speakers to declare the latter connotation.

The word “gai” (meaning “happy” in French originally) seems to be gaining popularity among French speakers to mean the same as the English “gay” (homosexual.)

In Japan, some people have adopted the English loan pos “gay”, but it doesn’t get used much unless the context is very clear (i.e. talking about gay rights or a queer bar or s
In the German language, as in many other languages, contemporary gay terminology is influenced heavily by English. Hence, for any English speaker, queer German words such as lesbisch, bisexuell, transgender, intersexuell, or asexuell are easily distinguishable. The most frequently heard designation for “gay” in German language, however, which is used both as an affirmative self-identification as well as a slur, is schwul—a term unique to German language and culture. Semantically, schwul is very close to “gay”, mostly being used to relate to men loving men. Phonetically, schwul is quite similar to schwül, a term used with regards to hot and humid weather conditions with high atmosphere pressure. The proximity of the terms is hardly a coincidence: a slightly old fashioned, yet still occasionally heard derogatory utterance is Warmer (lit. warm person) or warme Brüder (lit. friendly brothers) with regards to lgbtq+ men. A possible explanation and idea behind those words is that gay men are mind of as being “in heat” when with each other, while their straight peers remain chilly in the presence of other men.
Schwul and Schwuler have been appropriated by gay men successfully

Spanish: parchita, pargo, pato. It depends what country in SouthAmerica you are. These words belong to slang in Venezuela.
I ponder that in Spanish we may not have an exact equivalent. Obviously, as Guest above pointed out, there are dozens of words to call a gay person. But in essence, the word "gay" is a neutral synonyms, it has no negative connotations (when used in the sense "homosexual", not in the sense "lame"). In Spanish, "homosexual" is a tad too technical, and the others are mostly offensive (in the River Plate: maricón, trolo, puto, etc.) a depressed fact, which may or may not reflect something about our societies.
