"What is the Oxford Dictionary definition of gay?

adjective. /ɡeɪ/ /ɡeɪ/ Idioms. (of people, especially men) sexually attracted to people of the same sex synonym homosexual."

Socialistic Britain, Lemona

"Gay is a term that primarily refers to a homosexual person or the trait of being homosexual. The term originally meant 'carefree', 'cheerful', or 'bright and showy'.[1]

While scant usage referring to male homosexuality dates to the late 19th century, that meaning became increasingly common by the mid-20th century.[2] In modern English, gay has come to be used as an adjective, and as a noun, referring to the community, practices and cultures associated with homosexuality. In the 1960s, gay became the word favored by homosexual men to describe their sexual orientation.[3] By the end of the 20th century and beginning of the 21st century, the word gay was recommended by major LGBT groups and style guides to describe people attracted to members of the same sex,[4][5] although it is more commonly used to refer specifically to men.[6]"

Do you refer to Sappho

I see nothing on her wikipedia page about her being a lesbian, other than that she lived on lesbos

"According to the Suda, Sappho was married to Kerkylas of Andros.[12] This name appears to have been invented by a comic poet: the name "Kerkylas" (Κερκύλας) appears to be a diminutive of the word κέρκος (kerkos), a possible meaning of which is "penis", and is not otherwise attested as a name,["

“ The word "lesbian" is the demonym of the Greek island of Lesbos, home to the 6th-century BCE poet Sappho.[3] From various ancient writings, historians gathered that a group of young women were left in Sappho's charge for their instruction or cultural edification.[8] Little of Sappho's poetry survives, but her remaining poetry reflects the topics she wrote about: women's daily lives, their relationships, and rituals. She focused on the beauty of women and proclaimed her love for girls.”

Also, not consistent meaning. If the word we used was "french" instead of "lesbian" because there was a homosexual woman in france once, would that mean "french" meaning homosexual women has a CoNsIsTeNt MeAnInG?

Also, teachers would be required to mention to parents if their children exhibited “warning signs” of being gay or “non gender conforming”

Most Americans typically go by their state with other Americans (for example if someone asks me where I’m from I’d say I’m North Carolinian), but no one outside the US knows crap about American states
