Gayshine online
Allow me to introduce myself and don't bother taking notes because I'm not really ever gonna say that much about me per se, just what I think. I'm 37ish and tall and in a monogamous, long term relationship. This blog wasn't my idea, but that of a friend--a girl we'll call Manny. And the term 'Gayshine' was coined by her beau (a Japanese speaking Buddhist monk no less) who thought it would be a useful term to desribe how "gay" someone seems, by talking about how much gay shine he or she has. Being a fairly open minded sort, this monk wasn't being derogative. He simply meant that certain people have an aura, a shine if you will about them that might indicate a sexual preference that in fact isn't true. The word differs from 'metrosexual' in that metrosexual conotes a type of aspiration on the part of straight guys who want to be stylish. In other words, metrosexuals are consumer whores, people with gay shine just have a natural, happy, albeit misleading, glow.
Of course my only question now is, should gay shine be one word or two?
