gay vague
adj.— «Many men have migrated to a middle ground where the cues traditionally used to pigeonhole sexual orientation—hair, clothing, voice, body language—are more and more ambiguous. Make jokes about it. Call it what you will: “gay vague” will do.…The new convergence of gay-vague style is not to be confused with metrosexuality, which steered straight men to a handful of feminine perks like pedicures, scented candles and prettily striped dress shirts.» —“Gay or Straight? Hard to Tell” by David Colman New York Times June 19, 2005. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
