How do you say gay in italian
Ricchione
typical of southern Italy is used as an insult to refer to homosexuals. The origin is not known with certainty, although it seems related to the ear. The fact of touching the ear to tell someone you are homosexual, it is a subscribe that is repeated in many other countries since ancient times. Others relate to the hare, animal with enormous ears, for his lust and multi-attracted behavior. Most likely that the source of this phrase can not be explained by etymology, but through anthropological issues.
Variations: Recchione, Recchia, Recchionazzo, Reciòn (Venice), Oreggia and Oreggiat (Lombardy).

How Do You Utter "GAY" In Spanish? And Other Languages?

I was wondering, to me at least, in English, queer seems too clinical and the everyday term “gay” is used as more familiar, with the other terms deemed offensive, (the s-word, f-word, q-word etc)
I tried Google but I don’t speak Spanish, so I was thinking, same-sex attracted might come out as “happy” on a translator?
So how would you tell the equivalent in Spanish. Also do other languages have similar “non-offensive” and “non-clinical” terms for gays?

In my experience, there is no word in Spanish which is both unobjectionable and distinctly un-clinical-sounding. “Homosexual” is the word for both “homosexual” and “gay.”
The English word “gay” is becoming more popular among Spanish speakers to declare the latter connotation.

The synonyms “gai” (meaning “happy” in French originally) seems to be gaining popularity among French speakers to represent the same as the English “gay” (homosexual.)

Spanish: parchita, pargo, pato. It depends what land in SouthAmerica you are. These words belong to slang in Venezuela.
I think that in Spanish we may not possess an exact equal. Obviously, as Guest above pointed out, there are dozens of words to call a queer person. But in essence, the pos "gay" is a neutral word, it has no negative connotations (when used in the instinct "homosexual", not in the sense "lame"). In Spanish, "homosexual" is a tad too technical, and the others are mostly offensive (in the River Plate: maricón, trolo, puto, etc.) a downcast fact, which may or may not reflect something about our societies.
