Gay Phrase Book

by Barry McKay
abstract

This abstract is from the cover of the book.

Compiled to address the needs of the gay traveler, this unique guide gives you the words and phrases you require for basic conversation in the seven main gay languages: French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Japanese.

Using informal and everyday language the guide equips the gay tourist for tackling the language barrier in familiar holiday scenarios. Sections include “In the bar,” “At his place,” “On the telephone,” “Personal ads” and “Cruising.”

Each language section contains a safer sex dialogue courtesy of Gay Men Fighting AIDS, and for the new Japanese section, by the AIDS Council of New South Wales.
