Some little known terms of homosexuality

Gay and lesbian

The word homosexual is a Greek and Latin hybrid with the first element derived from Greek homos, 'same', thus connoting sexual acts and affections between members of the same sex, including lesbianism.

Gay generally refers to male homosexuality, but is sometimes used in a broader sense to refer to all LGBT people. In the context of sexuality, lesbian denotes female homosexuality.
