Aren’t lesbian couples gay couples or am I missing something here?

[–] Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 1 month ago (2 children)

While gay is a catch all it also tends to be used specifically for male/male couples as well because there isn't a term for gay male couples like there is for gay female couples. Hell, up until shockingly recently there wasn't even a flag for gay men. For everyone else that the rainbow is supposed to cover but nothing specifically for gay men.

Women got Lesbos, men should get a Greek island as well.

Nah, too much overlap with androgynous

Root¹ of androgynous is andro(masculine) gyn (feminine)

¹guess which language?

We've got a British one, which I think explains a lot
