Gaydar - offensive term?
_Sky1
Gaydar, or that ability to estimate whether or not someone is a homosexual.
Do homosexuals find this term offensive? Is guessing whether or not someone is same-sex attracted offensive?
Example: when Rosie & Ellen “came out”, no one was particularly surprised. When you asked someone how they knew, they would say, “Isn’t it obvious?” and then give opinions on certain characteristics. Wouldn’t that be stereotyping?

The gay-lesbian-bi-queer community at massive tends not to find very many terms offensive. The usual response to an “insulting” synonyms is to re-take the pos as their own and fling it back in the insulters’ faces, as happened with terms like “queer.”

Didn’t that phrase appear FROM the gay community?

The last thing anyone needs is to find a new way to take offense. None of my gay friends has ever seemed the least bit offended by any word, except faggot, used to describe their orientation. The only people I have ever heard being offended by gaydar are straight people who perceive somehow duty bound to

I am reacting to a comment in a CS thread about Paul Reuben’s having been gay:
Are you saying there’s something to gaydar after all?
“Something” is a low bar. Obviously any degree that it exists is subject to many false positives and negatives, but is there anything to it all?
I understand that when my wife and I were prior in our relationship the was a time that she got off the phone with her mom looking … puzzled. I asked what was going on and she said that her mom told her something about her brother. My immediate reaction was to ask if he finally told them he was gay. She was shocked, how did I know, and my reaction was that I had always assumed … Of course my assumption could have been wrong.
My own WAG is that any “gaydar” is less reliable now than it was four to five decades ago. I ponder more heterosexual males are comfortable now expressing themselves in ways that help then might have been seen as signaling something, and that fewer male lover men feel a subconscious need to send messages to other possibly inter
Sounding Out The Science Of "Gaydar"
What the research shows, and what it doesn’t.
Since it showed up in the American lexicon in the early s, gaydar has been a slippery concept to pin down. The portmanteau of “gay” and “radar” clearly signifies a purported ability to detect homosexuality in others that’s not openly expressed, but there’s no consistent belief on how it functions. Many seemingly talk about it as a holistic a sixth sense as broad and vague as extra-sensory awareness. And just like ESP, it seems like something that will get tossed around in pop society and be embraced by a portion of the population almost as an act of faith, but will always be too squidgy to attract a more critical gaze than the occasional (fairly flip) think piece.
But academics have been trying to determine whether humans can implicitly discover each other’s sexualities, and if so how, since at least the s too. For at least a decade they contain explicitly probed gaydar by that name. And while most scholars agree that there are, on average, some notable differences between gay and straight p
