Misleading but {politically correct} euphemism for homosexual. A few readers whose first language is not English may not realize that until just 25 years ago, the word meant ``happily excited'', ``bright'', or ``lively'', and bore no unwholesome connotations. Those times are behind us. Nowadays the word is rarely used in any other way than to designate those whose ``sexual orientation'' (yuk!) is to perform immoral acts with members of the same sex. Interestingly, the Internet Webster's adds the definition ``given to social pleasures; licentious, lacking moral restraint especially in sexual matters''.

Self-identified gay men do not necessarily have sex only with men but may occasionally engage in sex with women. 2. A man whose primary sexual and romantic attraction is to other men. He may have sex with men currently or may have had sex with men in the past. A smaller number of gay men may never have had sex with another man for many reasons such as age, societal pressures, lack of opportunity or fear of discrimination, but nonetheless realize that their sexual attraction is mainly to other men. It is important to note that some men who have sex with other men, sometimes exclusively, may not call themselves gay. 3.
