Calan Mai hapus i chi! Happy May Day to you all!

Today is a very auspicious day for some of my research (that I'm keeping under wraps for now)- but I can tell you it relates to the term Cadi (analogous to Queer in Welsh- see screenshot below of @geiriadurGPC)

Cadi is a term that has existed in Welsh since the 1600s. Its usage is often vague but over time it has been used to describe effeminate boys, masculine girls and people who would be called Intersex today.

Celebrating - a day against bullying and homophobia. Today you're encouraged to wear pink in defiance of anti LGBTQ+ bigotry.
Did you know that in the 90s, Welsh gay and lesbian group CYLCH produced a Welsh-language magazine called Y Draig Binc?

The Stonewall Cymru glossary from 2016 uses the spelling Cwiar. While Cwiyr appears only sporadically online.

Sadly, linkrot and poorly archived websites have eroded what digital evidence remains for these terms online.

Do you have any print material using these terms? I'd be delighted to compare notes if so!

GaySocs in Wales were known as Cymdeithasau Hoyw according to students in Wales in the 80s, however, I have not found any instances of this in print. Despite this, the next times it would appear in a Welsh dictionary are in 1993, 2000, 2001, 2005, 2016 and 2017.

Have you got a Welsh dictionary? Have a see if yours has Hoyw in it! Comment below if it does!

Archived my twitter posts dating back to a year this morning. Hopefully I can preserve them in a blog for posterity- keep an eye out for that when it drops.

In other news- still figuring out this platform- struggling with the discoverability element. That being said, I'm going to keep trying here!

No informational post today- rather, I'm putting out a tentative call for any Patagonian Welsh speakers who would be willing to talk to me about LGBTQ+ language in Y Wladfa (if any). If you know of anyone who would be interested, please send them my way!
If it helps, I'm conversational in Spanish.

Diolch! Gracias!
