That's So Gay!

I personally feel that nowadays the word “gay” has been used too loosely. Even issues that aren’t even related to homosexuality like being effeminate are labeled as being gay. You can tell that things have really gotten out of hand when someone says, “That’s so gay” in reference to something that’s not cool.

Just to clear the air a little, I’ve compiled a little list of terms and their proper definitions for your reading pleasure and for some of you….for your enlightenment.

a)The Effeminate:
Refers to males who take special interest in matters only normal females would such as dieting when they really don’t need to, keeping up to the latest fashion trends and other similar topics. The Effeminate speaks with a voice as if he hasn’t reached puberty, and often uses a lot of hand gestures like he’s flipping imaginary pancakes. Often very emotional and definitely the overly sentimental type. Oh, and they make excellent girls' best friends.
Other labels: Waiter without a Tray, Sissy.

b)The Metrosexual:
Every easily confused with the Effeminate, these types can very often be found in huge metropolitan areas in more highly developed countries. The Metrosexual takes extremely good care of his outer appearance, indulging excessively in skincare and hair products. There are extremists who go for eyebrow manicures and tanning treatments. Has at least 3 pairs of shoes just for walking and you’ll never see him wear the same combination of clothes twice. Some don’t mind wearing apparel which many would consider as feminine such as hair-bands, earrings, sarongs etc.
Other labels: David Beckham wannabe?

c)The Cross-dresser:
Ties in very closely with the Effeminate as most of them are. As the name implies, they are people who wear clothes often exclusive to the opposite sex. Sexual preference varies from individual to individual.
Other labels: Gender Bender.

d)The Homosexual:
The word “Gay” is only correctly used when referring to homosexuals. The homosexuals are those who indulge in sexual relations with others of the same gender. This term applies for people of both genders, however the term “gay” is more often used on homosexual men while “lesbian” is used on homosexual women.
Other labels include: Faggot, Dyke(female), Lessie (female), Fruit Cake, Queer.

Note:
I sincerely hope no one takes offence to my article. I do not advocate the act of homosexuality nor do I wish to alienate and eradicate them from the face of the earth.
