Also how do you say lesbian and bisexual?

gay = "gay" or "HO-mo" or "ho-mo-sex-u-AL" (accent on the "AL")
lesbian = "LES-bit"
bisexual = "du mi-NIT" for a woman, or "du mi-NI" for a man
And just in case you need to know:
pride = "ga-a-VA"

Unfortunately, we don't have a word for "gay".
Most of the Israelis would say "homo", or simply "gay", since these are the neutral terms and many gay guys would prefer them.
We also say "'aliz" (jolly, cheerful) or "ge'eh" (proud). I guess you're not looking for the offensive terms, right?
Lesbian is "lesbit" (plural: "lesbiot")
Bisexual is "du- mini" (plural: du- miniyim") or simply "bisexual"

Gay = homosexual
Lesbian = lesbit
Bisexual = akhadim mini (as best I can tell).
