Gay was an adjective meaning "carefree", "happy", or "bright and showy"; however, in modern usage, gay usually refers to homosexual people. Gay sometimes also refers to the culture of homosexual individuals (as in "gay history"), to things perceived by others to be typical of gay people (as in "gay music"), or to same-sex relationships more generally (as in "gay marriage").

Note that while gay applies to all people, the term lesbian is gender-specific: it is used exclusively to describe homosexual females. There is no corresponding word for males.

The person who is being penetrated is often referred to as the bottom while their partner is referred to as the top.
