gay love
Queer romantic affection
Gay love is romantic or sexual love between people of the same sex.
The phrase emphasizes the emotional dimension of same-sex relationships, often in contexts affirming their legitimacy: Gay love is love, a story of gay love in wartime.
It parallels constructions like "young love" or "forbidden love"—love qualified by circumstance.
