refer to a man would be fairy. But that's my age and the fact that I'm not a gay man showing. A gay guy especially one from the 1960s might disagree.

Any other term I can think of refers to a specific type of gay man (ie twink) or are entirely offensive (no good reason to call someone a pillow biter) or could refer to someone in other context (might be gay or totally unrelated). Examples would be nancy (someone being weak or cowardly), queen (obsessive interest in something), homosexual (could be man or woman), etc.
