		<description><![CDATA[LGTBQIA&#8230;and the list goes on. What we once simply called gay expanded to gay and lesbian, then to gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender, and then further to include the umbrella term queer, as well as intersex and asexual.

That&#8217;s totally me!&#8221; and you get really excited?

Used among gay men in the UK, Polari (often seen as Palare, as the word comes from the Italian &#8220;parlare,&#8221; or &#8220;to speak&#8221;) was born out of necessity; gay men in the 1960s needed a [...]]]></description>
