Gap in chronology

[edit]

It seems to me that there is a gap in coverage of terminology between the early 20th century and the present day. Although I was not alive for most of that century, I've gotten the impression from literature and older people that "fairy" preceded "gay". I made note of this where "fairy" is mentioned as a current, pejorative term, but I do not know the extent of its usage, its degree of dominance over other existing terms, or a range of years. This article documents historical terms well; I would appreciate it if someone more knowledgeable than me would add information on more recent terminology as well as previous usage of current terminology.

An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect Homophile and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 October 16#Homophile until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

Section on the term 'Achillean'

[edit]

This Wikipedia page should create a section for the term achillean (a more modern male-loving-male counterpart for sapphic, in comparison to Uranian). Nyxtingale (talk) 05:36, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yep! I agree, it's a commonly used term which should have a section. A Socialist Trans Girl 10:10, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
