Word of the Gay: "Lavender Linguistics"
"Lavender Linguistics" is a term used by linguists to study the language of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people. The field focuses on speech patterns, pronunciations, and use of certain vocabulary.
I've read some of the literature in this field, and, someday, I'd like to get a chance to read a lot more of it. Though now, other things are more pressing (like doing reading so that I can do a couple of studies of my own, which have nothing to do with sexuality.)
