P'nawn da! Excited to announce my latest blog (Term Anniversaries) has become publicly available on the LGBTQ Hanes Cymru site! https://lgbtqcymru.swansea.ac.uk/2023/04/04/term-anniversaries-vital-landmarks-for-welsh-lgbtqia-history/

Plan to make a more informative post (perhaps a blog?) about this soon.

Did you know that 2023 marks 50 years since lesbian and bi entered the Welsh language?

I hope 'term anniversaries' can help raise awareness of Welsh LGBTQ+ term history!

Happy 50 yrs #deuryw & #lesbiad !

Usage picks up again in the 90s and in 1995 Geiriadur yr Academi includes several pieces of bisexual terminology (Deuryw, Deurywiol, Deurywiog) bisexual, (Deurywiad/Deurywiaid) a bisexual/bisexuals, (Deurywioldeb) bisexuality, and (yn ddeurywiol) in bisexual(ity).

Deurywiol is used in dictionaries to this day, though like with many pieces of LGBT+ terminology, inclusion is often infrequent and spread out.
