How to say gay in Portuguese

Below are the words of our Portuguese Gay Dictionary that we will expand in new editions. If you know any more, please, contact us. But first some information about the language and where it is spoken.

Portuguese is a language of the Indo-European family, spoken mainly in Portugal and Brazil, and is also an official language in eight countries. Currently has over two hundred and seventy million speakers.

In Portugal, the situation of the LGBT community is good because the constitution explicitly protects against discrimination based on sexual orientation. In 2010, equal marriage was approved and in 2016, the homo-parental adoption supported in surveys by the majority of the population, as well as assisted reproduction techniques for lesbian women. In Lisbon, Oporto and the area of the Algarve, there is a fairly developed LGBT scene, as well as in other smaller cities. Both Lisbon and Oporto celebrate the LGBT pride attended by thousands of people.

From this Gay Dictionary we emphasize the word paneleiro for his trip around the world, as we tell in the okama article from Gay Slang Collection.

    Veado

    The Portuguese word Veado, whose English translation is deer, began to be used as a derogatory slang for homosexual men in Brazil in the early 20th century. The first written reference of the slang we have found dates from 1956, generating the origin of the expression quite controversy. Some authors affirm that the origin lies in the pronunciation since the slang is pronounced “viado”, which would be a reduction from the Portuguese word “Transviado”, with the meaning of deviated, following the wrong or immoral way, etc. Check our article for the Gay Slang Series to know more details about this word.

    T-shirt with the Veado drawing. You can purchase it in our online stores. 


    Variations: Veadinho.

    This article aims to clarify and distinguish the concept of Sexual Identity, an issue that we consider important at this time when sexual diversity, and especially the human one, is an incontrovertible fact.
