Gay Dictionary Turkish
How to say gay in Turkish
Below are the words of our Turkish 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.
Turkish language belongs, with discussion, to Altaic family. It is the official language of Turkey and Cyprus and is spoken by eighty-five million people, including the speakers in neighboring countries. Issue you can check comparing this Turkish Gay dictionary, with the Greek, Armenian or Azeri dictionaries. In this dictionary, you will also find words from the Lubunca slang, identity element of the LGBT people of Turkey with almost a century of use, related to the Polari jargon of the United Kingdom and the Karliarnta of Greece, cultural productions derived from the absence of sexual freedom.
The situation of the Turkish LGBT community is not good despite the fact that homosexuality is legal, practically always, they have no protection against discrimination or hate speech, civil unions or marriage.
We especially thank our kind and enthusiastic friend Görkem G. for his collaboration in this dictionary. His corrections, his contributions and, above all, approaching us to the Lubunca jargon, have given us emotion, joy and a new world to begin to discover.

+Lubunya
also Lubun, mostly using for feminine bottom gay man or general term for a gay man. From this expression derives the name of the Lubunca jargon, that means Lubunish, Lubun language or language of the gays.
The history of the Lubunca reminds us of other jargons related to the lack of sexual freedom, such as the Polari in the United Kingdom, and the Kaliarnta in Greece. But unlike the previous ones, its use is not only maintained, but increased. This is because the Lubunca is understood as an identity element of the LGBT community and also, because unfortunately in Turkey sexual diversity is rejected by the institutions.
Lubunca jargon appears at the end of the Ottoman Empire (1299-1923) in the underworld of the big cities, in the collective of transgender women and men, that were sex workers, the first illegally in brothels controlled by the government, and the latter in the Hammam (Turkish bath).
Lubunca jargon has contributions from many languages, but most of the expressions have their origin in Turkish and Romany languages, the latter being also the origin of many words of the Polari and Karliarnta jargons. Most terms refer to sex, either sex roles, sexual practices, sex work or genitals. Here are some examples:Ayı (plural. Ayılar): gay bear.
Balamoz: old man.
But: big, generally for penis size.
Elvan: average, generally for penis size.

+Parlak
