Gay german translation
German Word for "gay"
Schwul equals queer in English. Derogatory roots but in common use in colloquial language. Still used as an insult especially among adolescant male youth, more in the sense Americans would use "fag".
Also works as an adjective for haircuts, clothes.. and then almost always intended as an insult (though sexual connotation is not always intented).
Few gay bars describe themselves as "Schwulenbars" in German, though. Most will use "Gay Bar" in German, well English..
Homosexuell equals homosexual, but has a quite "technical" undertone, like in "20pc of the male population of Cologne are homosexuals".
"Gay" has become a fully-accepted designation also in German, especially among gay people.
All other, more colorful expressions should be used with caution.
"Vom anderen Ufer" is hopelessly outdated.
"Anders gepolt" or "andersrum" (being the other way around) also include too much slang, feasible derogatory undertones for ordinary use.

I reflect that in Spanish we may not have an exact equivalent. Obviously, as Guest above pointed out, there are dozens of words to call a gay person. But in essence, the word "gay" is a neutral synonyms, it has no negative connotations (when used in the sense "homosexual", not in the sense "lame").
