The end of gaydar?
The has a piece on the difficulties of telling, you know, which way that guy swings these days. Gaydar is “as outmoded as Windows 2000″. (Which I just got on my work machine a couple months ago, just as it was being end-of-lifed by Microsoft.) I guess the problem is that straight men, or at least the ones who hang around NYC fashion circles, are so fruity, and the gay men so mainstream, that you just can’t tell by looking. (In truth, you never could, at least without… you know.)
But maybe there is some melding of styles. Case in point: I bought a tie recently. I picked virtually the most conservative one available, and it still had lavender stripes. In Europe, the salesman assured me, men are wearing even brighter colors.
And don’t forget: Gay or Eurotrash?
