I'm a fan of the Chinese 同性戀, it literally translate to "same-sex love". I like the mention of love when a lot of terms just refer to sex.

LOL. I love this japanese one. Especially the positive connotation, which just makes it even funnier.

Hah. I love the way that probably the most common Russian word for gay is "голубой" which translates to light blue. Although I disagree with the slightly derogatory status. I know lots of people who use it in a non-derogatory manner, including myself.

Well, it's not inclusive, it doesn't say 'loving only the same sex'.
