Gay Slang Collection

Pato. Gay Dictionary (Latin America).

The ducks from Malmö.

Pato (Duck) is the slang word used in part of Latin America to insult gay men. As in other terms, to explain the origin of this use of the word, people refer, wrongly, to the duck form of walking or eschatological issues of the animal. However, the explanation is much simpler: “pato” is a word with several meanings, basically two.

The first is the common name of the animal and the second are negative characteristics of a man: clumsy person, without grace, not learns, silly, target of taunts and rudeness, etc.. It is in this second group of meanings which could be the origin of the use of the word “Pato” for gay bashing. It is quite common to attribute the negative characteristics of some men to homosexual men, just for the fact of being gay, and this semantic leap is the origin of insults such as “Coligüe” and “Julai” of the Spanish language, and “Pobjegulja” of the Croatian.

But back to the duck, the bird. With this illustration we present you our dear friend Pato, he’s a fag and spends long periods with his partner, another fag duck, in a public park in the Swedish city of Malmö. We met when stopped his migratory travel in Cullera (Valencia, Spain) and told us that in his species homosexuality isn’t frowned upon, that in the mating season fertilize the females, but the eggs and after the baby-ducks, they two just care for them; and that this evolving capacity has enabled his species, and many others, do not become extinct, because two males, in dangerous times, defend better their young. They are eight years living together, have a large family, and they love each other a lot 🙂

  • Sexual Identity

    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. Not so long ago, there were only men and women, two simple, fixed, and exclusive categories that… Read more
  • g0y, not gay

    Some years ago I read an article explaining briefly what g0y men were. Even though I thought homoerotic relationships between heterosexual boys were more common than it is supposed, it surprised me. Wow! This word remained a pending entry in our LGBT Glossary until now, when the time has come… Read more
  • How many people are gay? LGBT statistics.

    How many people are gay? 1 in 10? The idea that one in ten people is homosexual is perhaps one of the most known and recurring “myths” about homosexuality.
