Action note: In: Summary: ABSTRACT: This descriptive one-shot survey study was designed to find out the influence of gay jargon on the acceptability of male homosexuals in an urban setting. It presented the non-gay respondents' awareness and sources of gay jargon. It also determined what aspect of gay personality the gay jargon concentrates. The two hundred fifty multi-sectoral non-gay respondents were categorized according to their exposures to the gays. The chi-square and the analysis of variance (anova) for the one-way classification were used to test the hypotheses for this study. Regardless of the non-gay respondents' level of exposure to the gays, they were found to have a consensus in accepting the gays and their jargon. On the contrary, the level of exposure to the gays of the non-gay respondents was found to have a significant relationship to the non-gay frequency of use of the gay jargon. The more a non-gay is exposed to the gays, the more frequent is his use of the gay jargon; thus, his acceptance of the gays. All the three hypotheses were subjected to 0.05 level of significance. From the findings, it is recommended that more researches in this discipline be conducted. Based also on the findings of the study, gay jargon is now popular with many people in the urban setting, that further studies and researches on the gay jargon will now be given appreciation and recognition both in the academic and non-academic communities. As a pioneering research work on the language of male homosexuals in the masteral level, the researcher hopes that this study would generate enthusiasm to future researchers in the graduate level, who would be interested to know and understand the peculiarity of the unique language of the male homosexuals.
