Introduction
Introduction: The Meaning of "Gay"
Homosexual
ho·mo·sex·u·al (hm-sksh-l, -m-)
adj.
Of, relating to, or having a sexual orientation to persons of the same sex.
Dictionaries are so cold, aren't they? They give you the meaning of a word, but only its meaning. They don't give the word any kind of connotation or depth. They don't tell you about the people or experiences that lie beyond the word.
It is this gap - this void of tangible information - which I seek to fill, at least partially, in writing this. Of course, I can't give you the experiences of every gay person who's ever lived, but I can give you a small piece of it.
And hopefully, sometime within our lives, we will finally be able to fill the void left by world, and discover what it truly means to be homosexual.
