@tunquen replied to your post “Heyo! Very recently I discovered I'm gay and...”:
Hi, I'm the anon of this ask! I live in Chile! I don't really know if it's just me living under a rock or something but I've been struggling to find fellow gays where I live, unless we're really good at camouflage! :D
Ah wonderful! Okay doing some googling I came across this Spanish language lesbian slang dictionary by Moscas de Colores which is actually fairly robust! It gives a bit of background for each term, regional variations, synonyms, and indicates which countries it is used in.
I also came across this academic paper: Reframing Queer and Inclusive Language in Spanish: Challenging Ideologies and Affirming Queerness in Language as a Decolonial Tool by Miriam (Mimi) Urízar-Ávila, which while long, does cover quite a bit! If you're up for it, worth checking out. I only skimmed it super quick to see if it covers any Chilean stuff, let me know what you think if you do check it out.
I'm not find much else right now but maybe I'm looking in the wrong places.
Chilean followers - feel free to drop a comment or reach out and say hi! And if you have any recommendations on this topic as well, go ahead and add them. 💜
