Tere!
I'm wondering if anyone, either through their own research/experience in Estonia or as native speakers can help me out with terms for lgbt related things, or if there are any websites (in Estonian, so that I could try and use context to figure it out). What are the words for gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgender, as well as straight/heterosexual, and if there are multiple words, what are the connotations of different ones?
For instance, I have trouble finding a translation for "transgender" except for in google translate, which gives me "transseksuaal". While plenty of English speakers use "transexual" it's actually quite derogatory (although certain people prefer to use it for themselves still). Is there another word in Estonian, or if not, does it not have the same connotation? I also saw somewhere that a possible word for "gay" was just "homo" which could also be derogatory in English depending on context, but I know that doesn't necessarily mean that it would mean the same translated. Any information along these lines would be appreciated .
