While gay is a catch all it also tends to be used specifically for male/male couples as well because there isn’t a term for gay male couples like there is for gay female couples. Hell, up until shockingly recently there wasn’t even a flag for gay men. For everyone else that the rainbow is supposed to cover but nothing specifically for gay men.
Aren’t lesbian couples gay couples or am I missing something here?

Happy to help him whatever weird way I can.

Greek!
We’ve got a British one, which I think explains a lot
