Straight girls have crap gaydar. I've had at least a half dozen girls think I'm gay, and I'd say I'm far more girly than camp. No gay man (or lesbian) has ever thought I was gay.

Numerous people I know have been using this term for a few years already...new slang, psh.

i am straight girl with unerring gaydar (as far as i know this term has been around for at least 7 years!). however, since all my gay friends are CAMP AS A ROW OF PASTEL COLOURED TENTS i may be overestimating my gaydar's capabilities...

Doe Suzy still get royalties?

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Wednesday, 27 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

why, did suzy invent homosexuality?

― katie, Wednesday, 27 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Nah, just gaydar.

― RickyT, Wednesday, 27 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

well i'll have to ask her for my money back on mine, as it does not identify lesbians! (or is it only supposed to work on men?)

― katie, Wednesday, 27 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Its even been used in the simpsons, but do remember things take about 20 years to filter through to daily mail land, (from whence metro springs).

gaydar is a north american term - methinks suzy did not invent this!

― paul, Thursday, 28 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

That is not a good reason why Suzy did not invent it. However there are plenty of other good reasons.

But have you been to www.gaydar.com.au?? (That's what I thought this thread was going to be about, or its .com equivalent.)

three years pass...

It's all about the pits:

"When gay and straight men and women sniff the underarm odors of others—unsullied by deodorants or perfumes—gay men strongly prefer the smell of other gay men, according to researchers at the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia. Lesbians, as well as straight men and women, find the scents of gay men least appealing."
