Gap in chronology[edit]
It seems to me that there is a gap in coverage of terminology between the early 20th century and the present day. Although I was not alive for most of that century, I've gotten the impression from literature and older people that "fairy" preceded "gay". I made note of this where "fairy" is mentioned as a current, pejorative term, but I do not know the extent of its usage, its degree of dominance over other existing terms, or a range of years. This article documents historical terms well; I would appreciate it if someone more knowledgeable than me would add information on more recent terminology as well as previous usage of current terminology.

Section on the term 'Achillean'[edit]
This Wikipedia page should create a section for the term achillean (a more modern male-loving-male counterpart for sapphic, in comparison to Uranian). Nyxtingale (talk) 05:36, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
- Yep! I agree, it's a commonly used term which should have a section. A Socialist Trans Girl 10:10, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
