To All,

I was wondering if anyone knows where to find etymological information on
the words 'gomoseksual(ist)', 'gej', and 'lesbijanka' (preferably online
sources), specifically when these words were first used in Russian and when
and how the distinction between 'gomoseksual' and 'gomoseksualist' (also
gomoseksual'nost' vs. gomoseksualizm) arose.

Thanks,
