Etymology
The first known use of the term homosexual is found in an 1869 German pamphlet by the novelist Karl-Maria Kertbeny.[1] The word is derived from the Greek prefix homo- meaning 'same'. Many modern sources advise against using the term homosexual, and to instead use gay, due to the fact that homosexual has a history of being used negatively and in clinical context.
The term gay originally meant 'happy', 'carefree', or 'cheerful'. It was occasionally used to refer to homosexual men in the 19th century, but lost popularity in the beginning of the 20th century.[2] The term was solidified in in 1960's when homosexual men began using it to describe their orientation.
