no, a girl who is "gay" is a lesbian - "gay" represents homosexual in our society therefore a gay woman is a lesbian

she is being silly

she is trying to say gay is someone who like boys period no matter who

A male who likes males is gay

A female who likes females can be called gay or lesbian.

I'd say you are right. Gay means you like the same sex. It doesn't mean you like boys

Mean Lesbian

Some women, who are attracted to other women, identify as gay females. Gay mean homosexual, regardless of gender. Lesbian is simply the more popular term for gay females. It helps things be a little less confusing. Androsexual, is a more specific term, that means attracted to males, and can be used by anyone, of any gender, because it describes what sort of person you are attracted to, without relating it to one's own gender. Your friend should google some of these terms, it might help her sound better informed.

What Does Gay Mean

She's a dumb@$$.

"Gay" means you like others of the same sex as yourself. So liking boys only makes you gay if you're also a boy. A girl who likes boys is "straight", or "heterosexual"

Women who love other women are either called "lesbians" or "gay women" .

A lot of women, especially younger ones, don't like the word "lesbian" or prefer "gay" because it's shorter and easier to spell. It's a matter of preference... In general, "gay" refers to men but I think it's going to eventually refer to either gender -- it IS simpler.

Some lesbians like to be clearly separated from men so they prefer the female-only term. I can understand that.

She's misinformed. Gay doesn't mean that you like men. Gay means that you like people of the same gender.

She's being a dumbass -_- Most of the lesbians i know say they gay... Not lesbian... Gay means homosexual...
