Hi, everybody. It's okay to be gay. Did you know that?
大家好。是同性恋没关系的，你知道吗？
Did you know that in Canada, we have one of the highest gay populations in the world?
你知道加拿大是世界上同性恋人口数量最多的国家吗？
So guess what? If you're thinking of coming to Canada to study English, you've got to be careful.
你猜怎么着？如果你想去加拿大学英语的话，就得小心了。
You've got to wake up. You've got to change your mind. You've to change your thinking if you are homophobic.
你得醒醒了。你需要改变自己的想法。如果你是恐同者的话就要改变观念了。
"Homophobic" means you do not like or are afraid of gay people. So here's the lesson.
恐同意味着你不喜欢或者是害怕同性恋者。这就是今天的课程。
Here's a head up: Don't be ignorant. Don't be stupid. Listen to what I've got to tell you.
这是个提醒：不要无知，不要愚蠢。听我说。
I'll teach you some very interesting facts. You must keep an open mind.
我会告诉你一些很有趣的事情。你需要保持一个开放的心态。

In your country, maybe there are no gay people. Guess what? They're all coming here.
在你的国家可能没有同性恋。你猜怎的？他们都来这里了。
You have many, many, many, thousands, millions of gay people living in your country.
你的国家有成千上万的同性恋者。
There are gay people everywhere all over the world, so get used to it. We're here. We're queer. Get used to it. You go, girlfriend.
世界上到处都是同性恋，所以你得习惯。我们在这，我们是同性恋。习惯吧，去吧，女朋友。
So check this out. We have this umbrella term -- as some people like to say -- called "queer".
看看这个，我们有一个涵盖性术语，有些人会说—— "queer"。
"Queer" means "LGBT". Now, apparently there are some other letters after that,
"queer"指 "LGBT"。当今，显然有很多关于这个的词，
but they're too long and complicated for me to explain to you because I do not understand them.
但是它们太长太复杂，我理解不了，无法解释给你们听。
One thing that you have to be through this is understanding.Everyone is not a clear-cut image of what they should be.
你一定要完成的事之一就是理解。所有人都十分清楚自己是怎样的。
Some people hide things. "You have a penis? But you are just like a woman."
有些人可能会隐藏事实。“你有鸡鸡？但是你看起来是个女人啊。”
Wow. Surprise? Go to Thailand. Queer, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender.
惊讶吧？那你去泰国看看。同性恋，蕾丝，男同，双性恋，变性人。
Let's go through what these mean. A lot of the times, you'll see "LGBT community" or "LGBT-friendly".
让我们看看这些是什么意思。很多时候，你会看见"LGBT community" 或者 "LGBT-friendly"。
This means if you are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, come on in. Sit down. Have a coffee. We don't care what you do behind closed doors.
这意味着，如果你是同性恋，蕾丝，男同，双性恋或者是变性人。那么就请进来，坐下，喝杯咖啡。我们不在乎你隐藏了什么。
So "lesbian" -- a lot of people know from adult videos, and a lot of people like adult videos of lesbians.
女同性恋——许多人是从成人影片里知道的，而且很多人喜欢女同性恋的片子。
But do you know that there are real people that are really lesbians and they're not all beautiful porn stars?
但是你知道她们中有的是真的女同性恋，而不是美丽的成人影片演员吗？
Oh, no. Lesbians are girls who like girls. If anyone's familiar with the bland Blur, you might know this song.
不。女同性恋是喜欢女孩的女孩。如果有人对bland Blur很熟悉的话，你可能知道这首歌。
"Gay" can mean both "lesbian" and "gay", but we usually use it for boys who like boys.
"Gay" 可以指女同性恋，也可以指男同性恋，但是我们一般用来称喜欢男孩的男孩。
"Girls who like girls who like boys who like boys" -- then we have "bisexual".
既喜欢男孩也喜欢女孩的女孩或男孩就叫双性恋。
Do you know that in English, "bi" means "two"? "Bicycle" -- "bisexual".
你知道在英语里"bi"是双的意思吧？比如说"Bicycle" -- "bisexual"。
"Bisexual" means if you're a boy, you like boys and girls.
双性恋意味着如果你是男孩，你就既喜欢男孩也喜欢女孩。
Anything goes. You're like, "I'll have that one and that one -- yeah. All of them. Come on. Let's go." Okay? We have slang for this.
怎么都行。你就像这样，“我想要这个和那个，是的，所有的。来吧，咱走吧。”好吗？我们有形容这个的俚语。
You could say, "He or she swings both ways." Badda, badda swing. So this means that they like boys and girls. Cool. Options are open.
你可以说"He or she swings both ways." 这说明他们男孩女孩都喜欢。开放性选择。
Another one that is in this acronym -- the T, "transgender". Now, "transgender" is a little bit difficult for me to explain to you, but I will try.
另一个就是首字母缩略的T，变性人，变性人解释起来有点麻烦，但是我会试试。
"Transgender people" mean they are born with either male or female parts.
变性人意味着他们生来就带着男性或者是女性的器官。
For example, I was born with woman parts, but in my heart, in my soul, I don't think that I am a woman.
例如，我生来就带有女性器官，但是在我的内心，我的灵魂里，我觉得我不是一个女人。
I think that I am a man. So maybe I will wear men's clothes. Maybe I will outwardly look like a man, but I still have the female body parts.
我觉得我是个男人，所以我也许会穿男装。也许我会表面上看起来像个男人，但是实际上我还是有女性器官。
The same would go for a man who is transgender. This means that he has the man parts, but he feels like a woman.
男变性人也是一样。这意味着他虽然有男性器官，但是他觉得自己应该是女人。
"Feel like a woman." Oh, yeah, it's karaoke time with Ronnie. Okay. So this means that the man may dress like a woman.
感觉像个女人。是的，这是Ronnie的卡拉OK时间。所以这说明这是一个喜欢穿女装的男人。
Maybe they're very sexy. But then, it's a man. Cool. No problem. Don't be surprised. Just keep an open mind.
也许他们十分性感，但是他是个男人。棒。没问题，别感到吃惊。思维要保持开放性。
We have some slang terms for lesbians. Now, please be careful when you are using slang.
我们有关于女同性恋的俚语。用的时候要小心啦。
I don't care what the situation is; I don't care what the word is; be careful. Some people are sensitive.
不管状况如何，我不管用的是什么词都得小心，有些人十分敏感。
So we use the words "dyke" and "butch" to mean "lesbians".
所以我们用"dyke" 或者"butch"来形容女同性恋。
For gay men -- because they're men -- you have "twinkie" and "bear". Isn't that cute?
对于男同性恋来说，因为他们是男人，你就得说"twinkie" and "bear"。很可爱吧？
From what I understand, a "twinkie" is a man who is very cute.
就我的理解来说，"twinkie" 是指一个十分可爱的男人。
Maybe he is younger. Maybe he acts a little bit more like a woman.
也许他更年轻。也许他的举止看起来有点像女人。
Did I mention he's cute? He's so cute. Usually has beautiful, beautiful clothes.
我说了他可爱吗？他真的很可爱。通常穿着十分漂亮。
Again, I might be stereotyping, so I have to be careful.
再次申明，我也许比较古板，所以我得小心了。
And a "bear" is a man who maybe, to you, looks more like a man.
"bear"则是指一个看起来比较有男性气息的男人。
Now, "twinkies" are easier to see because they would be more effeminate, which mean they look more like a girl.
现今，"twinkles" 更容易看见，因为他们看起来更柔弱，也就是说更有女人气。
"Bears" look more -- kind of like a bear -- like a man. They usually have a beard. They're usually muscular and hairy on the chest.
"Bears" 看起来更雄性，像个男人。他们通常留着胡子，胸上有肌肉和胸毛。
So sexy those bears. So cute those twinkies. I don't really know any slang words for bisexual people.
所以bears很性感，twinkles很可爱。我不太清楚关于双性恋的俚语。
The only thing that I know is "somebody swings both ways".
我只知道"somebody swings both ways"。
We have other terms for people who are gay. Somebody might say, "Hey. Have you seen Sharon?"
我们还有其它关于同性恋的术语。有些人可能会说，"Hey. Have you seen Sharon？"
"Oh, yes. She's sexy." "Unfortunately, Sharon plays for the other team." This means she is a lesbian.
"Oh，yes. She's sexy." "Unfortunately，Sharon plays for the other team."这意味着她是个蕾丝边。
Or you might see a very handsome guy named Bob, and your friend says, "Bob plays for the other team."
或者你看见一个叫Bob的帅气小伙，你朋友说"Bob plays for the other team."
"Well, I play football with him on Monday nights. He's on my team."
我和他周一晚上踢足球了，他跟我一队的。
This means -- if someone "plays for the other team" -- that they're queer; they're lesbian or gay. Surprise. Football players can be gay. Loads of them.
这说明，如果有人说“为另一队效力”，这是在说他们是同性恋，他们是蕾丝边或者男同。惊讶吧。足球运动员可能是男同性恋，很多都是。
Another word for "bisexual" is that somebody "switches sides". So that means they go from one sex to another sex freely and happily.
另一个关于双性恋的词就是有人 "switches sides"。这意味着他们能自由开心的从一个性别爱到另一个。
One thing that's really difficult for people to maybe understand or to realize is, is the person gay? Maybe in your country -- as I said before -- people hide being gay.
还有一件让人很费解或者说发现的是，这人是不是同性恋？也许在你的国家，人们隐藏他们的性取向。
That's cool. If you're ever in doubt, don't stare; don't laugh; don't look stupid.
这没问题，如果你好奇，别盯着看，别笑，别搞的自己很蠢。
If you want to, you can ask them. It's an easy question. You can just say to the person, "Are you gay?"
如果你想知道你就去问。这是个很简单的问题。你可以跟对方说，“你是同性恋吗？”
Believe me. They will tell you yes or no. So if you're worried about someone being gay, please ask them.
相信我。他们会告诉你是不是的。如果你想知道有人是不是同性恋，请直接去问。
Do them the common courtesy of asking them before talking about them.
谈到他们之前请出于礼貌先问过他们。
One way to find out without asking them, if you're a little shy, is some people will volunteer the information.
有一个不去问他们就能知道的方法，如果你有些害羞的话，有些人会自愿说出信息。
They will say something like, "My partner is a good cook."
他们会说一些类似这样的话，"My partner is a good cook."
"Do you have a business? Your business partner?" No. No. Usually -- not all the time
“你在经商吗？你的商业伙伴？”不是的，通常来说，
but usually, if someone refers to someone as their "partner", it does mean that they're gay. But again, not all the time.
但是不是一定的，如果有人提到了他们的 "partner"，这说明他们是同性恋。但是再次申明，并不是都对。
There's another thing that's slang that we say is called a "gaydar". Oh, it's so clever.
还有一个俚语叫做 "gaydar"。噢，那可太聪明啦。
It's actually the word "radar" -- "gaydar". Get it? Ray, gay, radar, gaydar?
实际上是这个词 "radar"转化而来的，"gayer"，懂了吗？Ray，gay，radar，gaydar？
Good. So"gaydar" means someone is very, very good at detecting or understanding if a person is gay or not.
很好。所以基达意味着有些人十分善于探测或者说是明白一个人是不是同性恋。
So some people have a very, very good gaydar. They can point out a gay person a mile away.
有些人有很准的基达，他们能在一里开外发现一个基佬。
This is a good skill to have especially if you are gay.
如果你是基佬的话这就是个很好的技能。
If you are sitting on the subway and you see a handsome boy or a sexy girl and you want to say hi, just do so. Don't be afraid. Jump right in.
如果你坐地铁的时候看见一个帅小伙或者性感美女的话，就去打招呼吧。别害怕，直接上。
We have something in Canada that is huge. It's called "Pride", "Gay Pride".
加拿大有个大事件，叫做"Pride"，"Gay Pride"。
There's a huge parade, I believe, on Saturdays -- one Saturday every year.
有个很大的游行，我觉得是在周六，每年的一个周六。
There's a lesbian parade -- or the "Dyke March".
有一个蕾丝边游行——或者说 "Dyke March"。
And then on Sundays -- usually Canada Day or before Canada Day, there's the big, big gay parade.
