From 2018: How a massive painting by Charles Addams wended its way from a Hamptons hotel to a university library.
Oregon resident Jamie Shupe, who identifies as neither male nor female, can legally be considered nonbinary, a judge ruled.
同性戀（gay）一詞自古就帶有負面的含義，其性行為sodomy源出《聖經》裡遭上帝毀滅的淫亂之城索多瑪；1935年的《牛津英文字典》中，這個字已成為監獄裡同性戀的性行為，並指男同性戀者。1970年後這個辭彙的負面含義逐漸削減，轉成稍微正面的用語，經過數十年的解放運動，gay已非墮落、異常、罪衍、邪淫的同義字，許多對社會貢獻卓著、才華橫溢的人士出櫃坦承是同性戀者，無論在性取向或美學面向，他們都以獨特的表達方式，書寫男同志的美學與價值觀。
gay這個字眼的中性化，呈現出有意義的同性遊戲和「強迫異性戀機制」之間，也取得了對話的空間。男同志不再如以往般具有強烈的政治意味。這個辭彙的演變和1960年代以來受到男女同性戀運動以及人權發展議題的影響，成為當今一片文明的風景。

Origin
Usage
Gay meaning ‘homosexual’ became established in the 1960s as the term preferred by homosexual men todescribe themselves. It is now the standard acceptedterm throughout the English-speaking world. As a result, the centuries-old other senses of gay meaning either ‘carefree’ or ‘bright and showy’ have more or lessdropped out of natural use. The word gay cannot bereadily used today in these older senses withoutarousing a sense of double entendre, despite concertedattempts by some to keep them alive.Gay in its modernsense typically refers to men (lesbian being thestandard term for homosexual women) but in somecontexts it can be used of both men and women.
