How to say gay in spanish slang

Trolo

Trolo is a slang term created in Argentina which is used to insult gays. Its most likely origin is the masculinization of the slang trola, term used to insult “easy women” and also to refer to prostitutes. This is the same process used by words such as puto and gay, whose start as slang for homosexual men is in the prostitution of women. This would be the most basic explanation because an Argentinian author told us that people don’t use trolo in itself. In request for it to be insulting, it must be used along with some complement such as trolo de mierda.

Now we are going to talk about which is not the origin of trolo, despite it being the most widespread version on the web (even in Instituto Cervantes). According to this version, trolo would have its source in the trolleybus, a means of urban transportation inaugurated in Argentina in 1913. Why? Because the people accessed the trolleybus from behind, in a clear reference to anal intercourse. The investigation of this slang is not finished yet because we need dates and references. However, intuition tells us that this beginning is one more of the simplistic and morbid explanations given to words refering to

    I tried Google but I don’t say Spanish, so I was thinking, gay might come out as “happy” on a translator?

    So how would you say the matched in Spanish. Also do other languages have similar “non-offensive” and “non-clinical” terms for gays?

    In my experience, there is no pos in Spanish which is both inoffensive and distinctly un-clinical-sounding. “Homosexual” is the word for both “homosexual” and “gay.”

    The English pos “gay” is becoming more accepted among Spanish speakers to convey the latter connotation.
