Da endlich hatte ich ein Bett. Als ich mich aber hineinlegen wollte, schrie einer mich an: »Was soll denn das werden, Du bist wohl ein warmer Bruder?« Ich wußte noch nicht, was er meinte. Denn von Homosexualität hatte ich damals noch nichts gehört.

1905, Moritz Theodor William Bromme, “Meine Kellnerlaufbahn”, in Lebensgeschichte eines modernen Fabrikarbeiters, published 1971, page 159:

I finally had a bed. But when I went to lie down in it, someone shouted at me, "What are you doing, are you a faggot?" I didn't know what he meant yet. I hadn't heard anything about homosexuality at the time.


assexual

fag mag

What people usually mean by that is 'my career has gone so far down the dumper I only have gay fans', or 'my career is at such a low ebb no one else can be bothered to interview me so my press officer officer fixed up this interview with some crummy fag mag.')

1995, Richard Smith, Seduced and Abandoned: Essays on Gay Men and Popular Music, Cassell, →ISBN, page 118:

“You probably want some fag mag. Tight butts with chest hair and trim mustaches.”

1999, Steve Vivan, A Self-Made Monster, Boson Books, →ISBN:

Todd's secret is uncovered when his friends Alan (Evan Handler) and Kirk (Manfred Melcher) find a “fag mag” in Todd's desk.

fagazine

At the other extreme, the most distinctive of all the gay publications of the day were a pair of home-made 'fagazines' of slightly old-fashioned psychedelic design, printed on heavy stock in a rainbow of bright colours.

1995, Ian Young, The Stonewall Experiment: A Gay Psychohistory, Cassell, →ISBN, page 64:

REM lead singer Michael Stipe, for example, is queer, not gay. “For me, queer describes something that’s more inclusive of the gray areas,” he told Butt, a pocket-sized Dutch “fagazine.” “It’s really about identity I think. The identity I’m comfortable with is queer because I just think it’s more inclusive.”

2007 February 21, Joel Bleifuss, “A Politically Correct Lexicon”, in In These Times:

He was reading one of those little fagazines, those little gay rags, that there were white gay men in California dying because they were gay.

2013, Sonja Mackenzie, Structural Intimacies: Sexual Stories in the Black AIDS Epidemic, Rutgers University Press, →ISBN, page 45:


fag rag

For those of you out-of-the-know, Blueboy is a fag rag on the nice end of the spectrum (opposite Manmeat.)

1992, Louise Rafkin, Queer and Pleasant Danger: Writing Out My Life, Cleis Press, →ISBN, page 148:

He handed her the magazine, and she recognized it as one of her brother Herb's gay publications which he kept hidden in a box under his bed, thinking no one knew about his stash of fag rags.

1997, John Patrick, Come Again, STARbooks press, published 2008, →ISBN, page 110:

I ask my readers to send their old “fag rags” to me instead of burning them, since I argue that these magazines are part of our gay cultural heritage.

gayola

Every one of the bars that testified against the police department during the gayola inquiry was shut down.

1998, The American Journey: Derived from retrieving the American past, →ISBN:

Policing power over gay bars was thus shifted from the SFPD's beat officers to the mayor and the chief of police. In the wake of the gayola scandal Mayor Christopher launched an offensive against homosexual drinking establishments.

2006, Journal of the History of Sexuality:

One reporter asked the attorneys involved in one of the gayola prosecutions whether “gay bars” were acceptable.

2008, William N. Eskridge Jr., Dishonorable Passions: Sodomy Laws in America, 1861-2003, Penguin, →ISBN:

homonormativity

en-noun

homonormativity (countable and uncountable, plural homonormativities)

Homonormativity is largely a product of tolerance and, as Brown tells us, tolerance, among other things, exists in the social realm to cover over inequitable particularities in the legal sphere.

2009, Environment and Planning, page 755:

Duggan is careful to acknowledge that her identification of homonormativity does not create a category that parallels and reflects heteronormativity, as there are no gay structures parallel to those supporting and sustaining heterosexuality; [...]

2009, Anne Bottomley, Simone Wong, Changing Contours of Domestic Life, Family and Law: Caring and Sharing, →ISBN:

The Swedish gay date film Patrik 1,5 (2008) would be, arguably, a comparable example of such a homonormative filmic representation. Made in an era of homonormativity, however, but not (my contention will be) necessarily made of the era of homonormativity, Any Day Now should not be so easily dismissed or contained.

2017, Elizabeth Ellcessor, Bill Kirkpatrick, Disability Media Studies, →ISBN:

(LGBTQ) The assumption that sexual and romantic attraction and activity between people of the same sex is normal, either as the only normal, or in a culture which also treats opposite-sex activity as normal (and typically assumes all people are either male or female).

I'm an activist, but in Kelowna I felt like my safety is predicated on silence and white middle-class homonormativity.

2009, Rachel Epstein, Who's Your Daddy?: And Other Writings on Queer Parenting, page 255:

Indeed, queer thinkers have pointed out how heteronormativity and homonormativity are belied by the diversity of desires and relationships that already characterise many people's lives, and that transcend the ideological identities and proprieties that heteronormative and homonormative institutions attempt to enforce.

2012, Dr Gavin Brown, Dr Jason Lim, Professor Kath Browne, Geographies of Sexualities: Theory, Practices and Politics, →ISBN, page 58:

Homonormativity results in reiterating the gender roles that anchor heteronormativity to power (even though the connections to bodies may seem to be more lax) and regularly punishes "those who fail to do their gender right" (Butler, 1990, p. 140)

2014, Julia M. O'Brien, Oxford Encyclopedia of the Bible and Gender Studies, →ISBN, page 324:

Homonormativity is antiqueer in the ways that it reifies heteronormativity, and it is further understood as providing cultrual norms for the right way to be gay and lesbian. In this capacity, homonormativity perpetuates gender, sexuality, and racial stereotypes for gays and lesbians.

2016, Abbie E. Goldberg, The SAGE Encyclopedia of LGBTQ Studies, →ISBN, page 542:

(LGBTQ) The adoption of heterosexist values, beliefs and norms into the gay or queer community.

I went to friend and psychologist Alejandro Spicker — who's both attractive and smart — and asked him what he thought of sapiosexuality.

2012 May, Carolina Montejo, “Sapiosexuality: The intelligent foreplay”, in Vangardist, page 129:

Sapiosexuality is getting aroused not by the physical appearance of a person, but through his or her intelligence.

My hearing isn't that great, but my transdar immediately zoned in on him.

2000 July 26, Cheryl, “Re: everyone flame me, I deserve it.”, in soc.support.transgendered (Usenet):

Other respondents offered similar descriptions of transdar as a keen understanding of the most important sex cues.

2012, Harrison Vaporciyan, "Tumbling into Trouble", The Oracle (Stratford High School, Houston, Texas), Volume 41, Issue 4, 16 November 2012, page 8

Ranging from pangender to genderqueer and even intersex, the choices Facebook has included accurately reflects the diversity and differences of this day and age.

2014 February 25, Aysha Mahmood, “Media companies take a more progressive stance on gender”, in The Daily Campus, volume 120, number 92, University of Connecticut, page 4:

Letitia, I fear, is a monosexual. Only men arouse her.

1968, Gore Vidal, Myra Breckinridge, Panther Books, →OCLC, page 106:

There are several other reasons for underestimating the number of lesbians. One, an effeminate male is usually associated with homosexuality, whether or not he is a monosexual. But masculine women are not usually defined as homosexual. Therefore, the defining of visual characteristics varies for men and women.

1976, Robert R. Bell, “Female Homosexuality”, in Social deviance: A substantive analysis (The Dorsey Series in Sociology), Revised edition, Dorsey Press, →ISBN, →LCCN, →OCLC, page 313:

While monosexuals (gay men, heterosexuals, and lesbians) tend to describe being attracted to people of only one gender, bisexuals tend to disregard gender when assessing attractions to others.

1997 May 16, Daermonestroer Dragon [username], “Re: Pedophiles (Was: How can I find shoe fetish dragons?)”, in rec.games.computer.ultima-dragons (Usenet):

Gay or straight, we've all made incorrect assumptions about someone's sexual orientation, so the likelihood of “gaydar” or even “straightdar” as a meaningful idea is unlikely.

cishet

Even in death, the way we are spoken about by the mainstream cishet world is traumatizing and violent. Even in death, trans women of color cannot escape the trauma of colonialism and genocide.

2013, "Witchymorgan", "On the Labor Movement and Transmisogyny", Black & Pink, May 2013, page 4

While children can be born to any kind of parent and situation, unless drastic measures are taken, they will be raised in an overwhelmingly cisgendered and heterosexual (cishet) world. Cishet children and adults’ identities are affirmed by media, legal documents, population majority, history and other depictions of assumed cis-ness and heterosexuality.

2013, Ariel Estrella, "Hegemony, heteronormativity and amoeba", The Mac Weekly (Macalester College), 18 October 2013

[…] it reinforces the problematic notion that 'true' feminism belongs to cishet white abled feminists; […]

(informal) Cissexual/cisgender and heterosexual.

People who identify as cisgender and heterosexual, or cishets, are certainly more privileged in today’s society than the LGBTQIA+ community — which includes lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer-identified, intersex, and asexual people, as well as others who do not identify as cishet people.

2014 July 5, Anthony Speciyogic, “Burger King Pride Campaign Claims ‘We’re All The Same Inside’”, in Inquisitr:

graysexual

/ˌɡɹeɪˈsɛk.ʃuː.əl/

Blend of gray + asexual, coined by user asexualityrocks in 2008 on the forums of the Asexual Visibility and Education Network about two years after the advent of gray-A and gray asexual.

But then I remember: the whole ethos of sex-positivity is predicated on a belief that everyone—sexual, asexual, or gray-sexual; monogamous, polyamorous, or something in-between; LGBTQ or as hetero as the Romneys—is entitled to pleasurable and safe sex.

2013, M. M, "sex-pos", Post- (Brown University), Volume 14, Issue 13, 21 February 2013, page 7

Some aces are gray-sexual (or gray-A), meaning that they fall somewhere on a spectrum between asexual and sexual.

2014 February 19, Tess Banta, “The 'A' Stands for Asexual”, in The Amherst Student, volume 143, number 16, Amherst College, page 7:

Do you feel sexual attraction sometimes, but only rarely? You may be graysexual,* and you’ll have a lot in common with asexual people if you are.

2014 June 18, Julie Sondra Decker, “How to Tell If You Are Asexual”, in Time:

(neologism) Intermediate between sexual and asexual; sometimes, but not usually, experiencing sexual attraction and desire.


gray-A

Coined in 2006 by the user KSpaz on the forums of the Asexual Visibility and Education Network for those in the "fuzzy" area that is the distinction between asexuality and sexuality.

The gray-A type of attraction discussed in asexuality communities addresses this issue of a variable like sex drive.

2012, Evelyn Deshane, "Asexuality: Media Depictions and Lived Realities", Absynthe (Trent University), February 2012, page 34

People who find themselves “somewhere in the middle,” or people who don’t feel that they’re the cut-and-dry definition of aromantic asexual, tend to identify themselves as gray-A. And demisexuality is but one shade of gray-A.

2013, Adrienne Smith, “Cultural Fascination”, in Elesia Askenazy, Melanie Yergeau, editors, Relationships & Sexuality, page 96:

"Sexuality is so fluid, and Gray-A presents more of a possibility to be unsure. I don't understand all the intricacies of myself yet, so this is the closest approximation I've come up with," said Chris Maleney, an 18-year-old Pennsylvania high school student who identifies as Gray-A.

Dr D’Felice admitted flexisexuality had become fashionable as a result of its recent celebrity endorsement, but said it had always existed.

2010 November 27, Louise Eccles, “Dawn of the flexisexual: The new word for the women who refuse to play it straight”, in Daily Mail:

Often, it begins in the enlightened college cocoon, where women can explore their sexuality, though a recent ABC report from San Antonio, Texas, said flexisexuality is also part of the high school culture.

2011 February 23, Susan Donaldson James, “Flexisexual: Girls Who Kiss Girls, But Like Boys”, in ABC News:

In fact, a growing proportion of Londoners are overturning the yoke of old-school monogamy and instead investigating the worlds of flexisexuality, of open or group relationships, of Living Apart Together (LAT), mono/non-mono and mono-gamish.

2014 March 14, Rebecca Newman, “Sex? Love? Commitment? The changing face of modern relationships”, in London Evening Standard:

1998, Linda Handel, Now That You're Out of the Closet, What About the Rest of the House?, Pilgrim Press, →ISBN, page 147:

Personally, I identify as “flexisexual,” a word I invented because I'm attracted to more than just men and women, and because my patterns of attraction have changed over time.

2011, Jaclyn Friedman, What You Really Really Want: The Smart Girl's Shame-Free Guide to Sex and Safety, Seal Press, →ISBN:

Acronym of trans-exclusionary radical feminist. The earliest recorded use is from 2008 by trans-inclusive cisgender radical feminist Viv Smythe.

acronym

Dear “A Lesbian Democrat”
Your TERF (trans-exclusionary radical feminist) agenda and what it represents is no better than the bigoted regressive agenda of the religious right.

2013, Toni Browning-Early, letter to the editor, QNotes, Volume 28, Number 6, 19 July - 1 August 2013, page 4

At the further extreme TERF’s^([sic]) actively promote the message that banning trans women from feminist gathering implies—that trans women are not really women at all.

2013 December, Rachel Eliason, “Wired This Way”, in ACCESSline, volume 27, number 12, page 13:

Perhaps the sheer nastiness of TERFs comes from the fact that they don’t just know they’ve lost; they know they were on the wrong side from the beginning.

2014, Roz Kaveney, "Woman Enough, The Advocate, 16 July 2014

Although some TERFs attend the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival, none of my interviewees or other land-women have identified as a TERF, nor have any TERFs, to my knowledge, ever lived on women's land.

2018, Keridwen N. Luis, Herlands: Exploring the Women's Land Movement in the United States:

The point here isn't that some TERFs aren’t XX and some Nazis aren’t “purely” white (an imaginary category); it’s that their bigotry rests on assumptions about biology and genetics which are scientifically lazy, as if you can “see” race and gender in a meaningful yet simplistic and binary way.

2019, Morgan Lev Edward Holleb, The A–Z of Gender and Sexuality: From Ace to Ze, London: Jessica Kingsley Publishers, →ISBN, page 252:

That Rowling used terms like “gender critical” (the preferred descriptor of TERFs rather than, well, TERF); that she believes laws that enable trans people to use the bathrooms and changing rooms that match their gender identity will “open the door to any and all men who wish to come inside,” which she says is the “simple truth” but is not backed up by any evidence whatsoever; and that she paints the movement for trans rights as one that is “doing demonstrable harm” to women and girls and is “offering cover to predators like few before it” is proof enough of what her views are and who she aligns herself with, for all of her protestations that she has trans friends and cares about the safety of trans women.

2020 June 10, Esther Wang, “For the Love of God, Please Make J.K. Rowling Stop”, in Jezebel, archived from the original on 2022-11-10:

(see usage notes) A trans-exclusionary radical feminist; a radical feminist who does not consider trans women to be women, or thinks they should not be included in female spaces or organisations, and who considers trans men to be women.

aromanticism

From aromantic + -ism or a- + romanticism.

2012 November, anonymous author, “Pandora's box: The stigmas surrounding aromanticism”, in The Scripps Voice, volume 16, number 4,1, Scripps College, page 5:

In other words, the percentage Bogaert identified is not likely very reliable, accurate, or representative and it certainly does not account for the diversity of lived styles of asexuality, ranging from a preference for hugging and kissing to aromanticism […]

(LGBTQ, slang) Someone who is both gay and atheist.


bi-erasure

Bi-erasure can also be pretty stressful – why are bisexual people never mentioned in media debates about same-sex marriage?

2013, Anonymous, "Getting out of the closet and into the frying pan", Exeposé (University of Exeter), Issue 605, 19 February 2013, page 18

Some might argue that it leads to bi-erasure, as bisexuality is never discussed, but I'd give it time.

2013, Suryatapa Mukherjee, "In the Media: Orange Is the New Black", Quench (Cardiff University), Issue 139, November 2013, page 13

According to several students interviewed, “bi-erasure” provides a case in point. “If people see a dude making out with a dude, everyone presumes to know he’s gay,” Cienfuegos explained. “He might say he’s bi, but people will actively not believe him.”

(LGBTQ) The tendency to ignore, deny, or minimize the existence of bisexual people or of bisexuality.


monosexism

Oppression of bisexual people is based in part on heterosexism and in part on monosexism, the belief that people can or should be attracted to only one sex/gender and that there is something wrong with those who cannot or will not choose.

1995, Liz A. Highleyman, “Identity and Ideas: Strategies for Bisexuals”, in Naomi Tucker, Liz Highleyman, Rebecca Kaplan, editors, Bisexual Politics: Theories, Queries, and Visions, Routledge, published 2013, →ISBN, page 87:

Considering the fact that the overwhelming majority of biphobia and monosexism originates not from gay and lesbian communities but from heterosexual structures, […]

2013, Shiri Eisner, Bi: Notes for a Bisexual Revolution, Seal Press, →ISBN, page 61:

[…] The L Word seemed to harbor its own reservations about Alice's bisexuality from the start. But that the show ultimately chose to project its own monosexism through the voice of the one character who initially defied such limitations set a new record for implausible character noncontinuity, at the same time as it closed down one of American television's most prominent discourses on bisexuality.

2013, Maria San Filippo, The B Word: Bisexuality in Contemporary Film and Television, Indiana University Press, →ISBN, page 206:

The assumption that everyone is monosexual (i.e., attracted to only one sex); the belief or assertion that bisexuality and pansexuality do not exist.


trans-erasure

While all minority voices are silenced to varying extents—usually by being denied access to media and economic and political power—there are several aspects of trans-erasure that make it particularly extensive.

2007, Julie Serano, Whipping Girl: A Transsexual Woman on Sexism and the Scapegoating of Femininity, Seal Press, →ISBN, page 189:

Even on the right, trans-erasure in legislation had been happening for a while. The re-purposing of DOMA, or Defense of Marriage Act, first proposed in 1996, specifically denied legislation recognizing the nuance in transsexual marriage, where one partner had their gender reassigned after the couple had wed.

2013, Ely Grinfeld, "Gay marriage fails to make all feel 'gay'", The Current (Eckerd Collage, St. Petersburg, Florida), Volume 4, Issue 11, 19 April 2013, page 9

By not reporting the actual issues related to the trans community, you are actively contributing to trans-erasure.

2014, Tina W., comment published in "Furor Erupts Over Cathy Brennan and Gender Identity Watch", South Florida Gay News, Volume 5, Issue 8, 19 February 2014, page 15

(LGBTQ) The tendency to ignore, deny, or minimize the existence of transgender people or transness.


GCF

Now imagine that, as is the case with many British GCF philosophers, the instructor believes that trans women in women’s prisons pose an unacceptable threat to the safety of inmates in those prisons.

2019 August 6, Shannon Dea, “Academic freedom, scholarly responsibility and the new gender wars”, in University Affairs:

A GCF might claim that transwomen should not be included in the category ‘women’.

ciscentric

en-adj

ciscentric (comparative more ciscentric, superlative most ciscentric)

more ciscentric (comparative)

Such a universalizing presumption of cissexuality is ciscentric and cissexist because it assumes that the authenticity of femininity is rooted in the female body, that cissexuality is the correct or superior gender identity, and that all 'female' bodies hence yield and are inhabited by female-identified 'women.'

2012, Einar Ragnar Jónsson, "Why Feminism Needs to be Trans-Inclusive, or: The Bodily Consequences of Cisnormativity", Bluestockings, Fall 2012, page 39

I know too much to think any one person responsible for the frightful way these inherently classist, sexist, racist, ciscentric, and appallingly heteronormative systems interact in the world.

2013, Michael Smith, "Religion Exhausts Worldly Tolerance", The Bachelor (Wabash College, Crawfordsville, Indiana), Volume 105, Issue 24, 19 April 2013, page 5

Obviously, this sentiment is ignoring the fact that the other 51 weeks of the year is essentially just a barrage of heteronormativity and ciscentric "pride" being plastered across society.

2014, Jesse Woods, "Pride doesn't mean we dominate society for a week", Arthur (Peterborough & Trent University), Volume 49, Issue 3, 23 September 2014, page 10

queerbaiting

Queerbaiting is erasure. It’s telling queer people that they don’t exist, or that our stories aren’t worth telling, and it’s harmful.

2013 October 7, Matthew Ellison, “Queerbaiting”, in Salient, volume 76, number 23, Victoria University of Wellington, page 39:

Some feel that fan pressure to emphasize Buffy and Spike’s relationship spoiled the last few seasons of Joss Whedon’s show, and many fans were alienated by Teen Wolf’s recent queer-baiting.

2013 November 20, Mollie Forman, “Eat the executive”, in Post, Brown University:

Criticism of queerbaiting also does not imply that creators need to be dictated to by fans on how to run their show; […]

2014 June 29, Maneesha Dullewe, “A brief guide to queerbaiting”, in Ceylon Today:

And as a much better NYT comment piece on queerbaiting put it last year: “As self-serving as some celebrity caginess can be, you can’t build a world in which everyone feels free to self-identify by ordering everyone to self-identify.”

2024 January 10, Laura Snapes, “Taylor Swift’s people shut down speculation about her sexuality – but risked rebuking her LGBTQ fans”, in The Guardian, →ISSN:

(LGBTQ, fandom slang) The practice of creating homoerotic tension between two characters in a narrative work (particularly a television series) without the intention of ever developing it into an actual same-sex relationship or explicitly addressing the question of either character's sexuality.

en-noun

lesdar (countable and uncountable, plural lesdars)

That's because you don't have highly-developed lesdar.

1997 May 2, Melinda Shore, “Re: ER (was Re: The Episode)”, in soc.motss (Usenet):

Lizz Winstead sets off my lesdar, incidentally; anybody know if she is lesbian, or bi?

2001 January 31, Michael S Pettersen, “Re: Queer as NYTimes beefcake (was Re: Lily Tomlin)”, in soc.motss (Usenet):

I was surprised how as some my gaydar and lesdar were pulsating as I walked the streets.

During that march, my queerdar was on full throttle. I saw HRC equality and rainbow stickers all over the place.

2004, Rick Hoffman, account of the March for Women's Lives, Memorandum from the Pro-Life Alliance of Gays and Lesbians, Number 46, Summer 2004, page 3

Are there such things as 'gaydar' or 'queerdar'? That is to say, do some individuals possess an uncanny ability to recognise someone or something as gay or queer and to acknowledge it publicly, […]

The supposed ability to detect whether or not a person is queer by observing that person.

allosexual

From allo- (“other”) + sexual. "Directed at or involving another rather than one's self" and "involving the other sex; heterosexual" are the most etymologically literal senses (regarding the latter sense, compare the structure of heterosexual), structural and semantic opposites of autosexual and isosexual. The sense "non-heterosexual" was influenced by (and had influence on) Canadian French allosexuel.

Gray-asexual [denotes] a person who is somewhere between 100% asexual and allosexual; they might only experience sexual attraction on very rare occasions, […]

2014, Nicole Wiesenthal, “What it means to be asexual”, in The Mirror, number Fall, page 19:

Sexual assault is alarmingly common, yet most victims still identify as heterosexual, cisgender and allosexual (the opposite of asexual) after the trauma. Being sexual assaulted did not make me asexual, […]

2014 March 20, a letter to the editor of The Record, volume 116, number 20, page 6

(LGBTQ, of a person) Experiencing sexual attraction; not asexual.

Yet we later learn that Diana Baring already knew the secret — whether being “half—caste" references being lower-caste with “black blood” (more than a racial marker) or being transsexual, homosexual, or allosexual.

2005, Tom Cohen, Hitchcock's Cryptonymies, volume 2, →ISBN, page 58:

Diane Bourgeois (Terrebonne—Blainville, BQ): Mr. Speaker, last month in my riding, Gaétan Lord won the jury prize at the Allostars Gala for his contribution as founding president of Canada's first centre for “allosexual” or queer youth, which offers support to gays, lesbians and young people who are unsure about their sexual orientation.

2006, House of Commons Debates, numbers 27-40, page 1595:

Throughout this time, I have been struck by the absence of racialized, ethnicized, and colonized (REC) voices in historical accounts of the local gay and lesbian community at large, and likewise the lack of allosexual representation in the narratives of the city's various ethnocultural communities.

2013, Alan Wong, “Listen and Learn”, in Oral History Off the Record: Toward an Ethnography of Practice, →ISBN:

(LGBTQ, uncommon, chiefly Canada) LGB; queer; non-heterosexual.

Dr. Conigliaro contended that the sharing of the same bedroom by a single parent and child of the opposite sex "could contribute to, or cause, an excessive degree of ‘allosexual identifications’, [where a child identifies with the parent of the opposite sex] […]"

1980, Federal supplement, series 1, volume 476, page 1330:

[…] We performed 45 experimental confrontations with heterospecific pairs. Confrontations (C. talarum vs C. australis) included allosexual and isosexual encounters.

1992 February, Aldo I Vassallo, Christina Busch, “Interspecific agonism between two sympatric species of Ctenomys (Rodentia: Octodontidae) in captivity”, in Behaviour, volume 120, number 1/2, pages 40-50:

(chiefly biology, sociology, psychology) Involving or directed at the other biological sex; heterosexual; not isosexual.


allosexual

[…] that is par for the course of being any form of queer-identified. But it also allows allies and allosexuals (persons who experience sexual attraction) to push out asexual and aromantic-identified individuals.

2014 October 15, Z Colburn, “"A" is for annoyed”, in The Easterner, volume 66, number 4, page 8:

A chart of the Ace Spectrum: the different possibilities for asexuals, demisexuals, and allosexuals.

2014 November, Krista Rhoades, “Asexual Awareness Week”, in Collide, number 22, page 5:

2008, Glenn Wilson, Qazi Rahman, Born Gay: The Psychobiology of Sex Orientation, Peter Owen, →ISBN, page 98:

The influence of the fraternal birth order effect is not mediated by a male growing up with older stepbrothers but is influenced by them having biological brothers (who share the same mother) regardless of whether they are raised together or apart (Bogaert, 2006).

rainbow ceiling

rainbow (a reference to the rainbow flag, an international symbol of gay pride) + ceiling (suggesting a barrier to upward advancement); modeled after glass ceiling.

Meretz MK Nitzan Horowitz isn’t just Israel’s only openly gay parliamentarian, he’s the Middle East’s only openly gay parliamentarian (though he was preceded in that role by Uzi Even, who broke that particular rainbow ceiling in 2002).

2013 June 27, Niv Elis, “The Middle East’s first openly gay mayor?”, in The Jerusalem Post:

I am an out gay man in my late 20s. […] I consider myself a successfully "launched" millennial and I've made it my mission to break the rainbow ceiling wherever I work.

2014, Chris, quoted in Conor Friedersdorf, "28 Distinct Takes on Gay Marriage and Stigma," The Atlantic, 15 April 2014

Michael Sam has made history on May 10 by breaking the rainbow ceiling to become the first openly gay football player to be drafted into the NFL.

2014 May 12, Craig Takeuchi, “Michael Sam makes history: First openly gay football player drafted into NFL”, in The Georgia Straight:


pink ceiling

pink (“relating to homosexuals as a group within society”) + ceiling (“suggesting a barrier to upward advancement”), modeled after glass ceiling.

That was nearly twenty years ago, and the Rev. David Norgard, who now serves as rector of St. John the Evangelist Episcopal Church in San Francisco, has spent much of those two decades quietly cracking the pink ceiling in the Episcopal Church.

1996 June 29, Don Lattin, “Gay Priest Is Cracking Through the Bias Ceiling”, in The San Francisco Chronicle:

On September 21, 1998, the American TV channel NBC broadcast the first episode of their new sitcom Will And Grace. There was some advance interest among gay viewers and city sophisticates as it marked the shattering of the "pink ceiling" - there were now homosexual lead characters on a major network prime-time show, and their lifestyle wasn't an issue.

2004 August 29, Stephan Phelan, “Where There's A Will there's a Grace”, in The Sunday Herald:

Tomorrow Susman, 43, now executive vice president of global communications for the Este Lauder Cos. Inc. in New York, will moderate a panel of five homosexual business executives about the pink ceiling and what corporate executives can do to break it.

2006 May 5, Joseph A. Slobodzian, “Breaking through the 'pink ceiling': Many gays and lesbians face career hurdles in corporate workplace”, in The Philadelphia Inquirer:

An informal (and often unacknowledged) barrier to promotion or advancement, in employment and elsewhere, for gay and lesbian people.

rainbow-striped flag used as a symbol of LGBT pride and social movements

The extraordinary Josia Thugwane kept the best for last and made the rainbow flag fly over the closing ceremony of the Games. […] Today we honour all our athletes who ensured that the rainbow flag never touched the ground in Atlanta.

1996, Nelson Mandela, “Address […] at the Parade of Champions from Atlanta Olympics”, in Speeches by Nelson Mandela:

In 1994 South Africa held its first fully democratic elections which were overwhelmingly won by the ANC and Mandela became the first black president. At midnight on April 26th the new rainbow flag was raised and the new national anthem, Nkosi Sikelel iAfrika (God Bless Africa), was sung across the nation.

2008, Lizzie Williams, South Africa (Spiral Guides), Heathrow, FL: American Automobile Association, →ISBN, page 10:

We are pleased to be sending off our hard working teams to go and represent the nation abroad, and fly the rainbow flag high.

2012, Jacob Zuma, “Statement by His Excellency […] on the occasion of the send off ceremony for the Olympic and Paralympics Teams”, in The Presidency (Republic of South Africa):

Mandela is a Xhosa, an eastern Bantu tribe with some admixture of Bushman genes and language. He is also the integrator of the highly diverse South African nation, with a half Portuguese wife […] thus Mandela is a 'painted', ordained figure, incidental with attributes of the type, and the South African rainbow flag.

2014, Edmond Furter, Mindprint, Lulu.com, →ISBN, page 134:

That is how the invitation to President Mandela's inauguration fell to me. As I watched the ceremonies, and observed the rainbow flag of a newly freed nation unfold, I reflected on the growth of the international scrutiny of contested laws in every country, including my own.

2015 May 15, Michael Kirby, “Foreword”, in Mark Trowell, The Prosecution of Anwar Ibrahim, Singapore: Marshall Cavendish, →ISBN:

Just as the rainbow in the blue skies, after a rainstorm, testifies to the existence of imperishable sunshine in the higher firmament, so this rainbow flag of China, born in the throes of the Chinese Revolution, is a standing proof of our abiding faith in democratic government […]

1919, Arthur Richmond Marsh, The Economic World, page 548:

[…] but each Chinese patriot following me will bear, as I bear before you my beloved Chinese rainbow flag, which has come to its life because of the Stars and Stripes. (Displaying the two flags.)

1924, Freemasons. Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, Proceedings of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, page 601:

With apologies to my friends who have detransitioned or retransitioned if I get this wrong, this is what I've learned.

2018, CN Lester, Trans Like Me: Conversations for All of Us, unnumbered page:

One reason for encouraging detransitioners to go through counselling and avoid rushing into further surgery is that many go on to retransition again in the future.

2019, Jennie Kermode, Supporting Transgender and Non-Binary People with Disabilities or Illnesses: A Good Practice Guide for Health and Care Provision, page 72:

She also observes that within the number of those who detransition, a significant proportion do so due to how intense their experiences of rejection and transphobia are – and so then actually retransition further on in life.

2019, Rosie Swayne, “Unqualified, middle-age lesbian swerves abruptly out of her lane to talk about trans issues”, in Lesbian Feminism: Essays Opposing Global Heteropatriarchies, unnumbered page:

Included in this group were 4 individuals (1.3% of the total sample) who retransitioned twice (to nonbinary then back to binary transgender). Some youth (3.5%) were currently living as nonbinary, including one who had retransitioned first to cisgender then to nonbinary. Finally, 2.5% were using pronouns associated with their sex at birth and could be categorized as cisgender at the time of data collection, including one who first retransitioned to live as nonbinary.

2022, Kristina R. Olson, Lily Durwood; Rachel Horton, Natalie M. Gallagher, Aaron Devor, "Gender Identity 5 Years After Social Transition", in the Pediatrics

(LGBTQ) To undergo another transition, for example to transition back to one's earlier (trans) gender after having temporarily detransitioned to one's birth-assigned gender, or to transition to a binary trans gender after an earlier transition to non-binary.

Finally, some who embrace the psychological paradigm critique transition-affirmative approaches by pointing to studies showing that a statistically significant number of people who have undergone transition – one 2009 study suggests up to 8 percent – have later expressed regrets, with some even deciding to retransition back to their birth sex.

2019, Paul Rhodes Eddy, James K. Beilby, “Understanding Transgender Experiences and Identities: An Introduction”, in Understanding Transgender Identities: Four Views, unnumbered page:

If a socially transitioned child desists and later comes to identify with their birth-assigned gender, the child must then retransition to that gender, which could be difficult and pose risks for the child at that older age.

2019, Shervin Shandianloo, Richard R. Pleak, “Mental Health Issues in Caring for the Transgender Population”, in Leonid Poretsky, Wylie C. Hembree, editors, Transgender Medicine: A Multidisciplinary Approach, page 122:

In some cases, individuals may “detransition” (or retransition) to their assigned/biological gender, further complicating identity and family relationships.

2022, Denise Ann Bodman, Bethany Bustamante Van Vleet, Randal D. Day, Introduction to Family Processes: Diverse Families, Common Ties, unnumbered page:

(LGBTQ) To return to one's birth-assigned gender after having undergone gender reassignment; to detransition.


HoYay

From a contraction of "homoeroticism, yay!", after a thread so named on the forum Television Without Pity.

This should really help the HoYay! quotient on BtVS, which was largely lacking in S5, Willow and Tara notwithstanding (it's not as much fun if it's *text*).

2001 June 28, Mike Zeares, “Re: New writer joins BUFFY staff”, in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer (Usenet):

Tangentially, speaking of HoYay! movies, the local movie reviewer here said about "The Count of Monte Cristo" that he's seen less homoerotic subtext in a Village People video.

2002 January 26, Shadowy Moon [username], “Re: Religious groups praise "Lord Of The Rings"”, in alt.gossip.celebrities (Usenet):

Considering fans' previous seemingly blanket endorsement of everything queer, one has to ask why HoYay! fans don't favor the queer Lex/Lana/Clark triangle.

2008, Melanie E. S. Kohnen, “The Adventures of a Repressed Farm Boy and the Billionaire Who Loves Him: Queer Spectatorship in Smallville Fandom”, in Sharon Marie Ross, Louisa Ellen Stein, editors, Teen Television: Essays on Programming and Fandom, McFarland & Company, →ISBN, pages 214–215:

(fandom slang) Homoerotic subtext in a television show, film, book etc.


Clex

Thus Smallville fans use the Clex pairing in fanfiction to explore, therefore, not just what it means to become “queer” in the sense of lived sexual orientation, but also what it means to become a fan.

2005, Brigid Kelly, "The Transformative Power Of 'Hot Gay Sex': Queering Superman, Queering The Fan On The TelevisionWithoutPity 'Smallville' Boards", Spectator, Volume 25, Issue 1, Spring 2005, page 75

Considering how often Smallville has already diverged from Superman canon in the course of the past five seasons, including the transformation of Clark and Lex from instant enemies to friends, this line of reasoning points to an attitude of wanting to defend and reaffirm the validity of "Clex."

2008, Melanie E. S. Kohnen, “The Adventures of a Repressed Farm Boy and the Billionaire Who Loves Him: Queer Spectatorship in Smallville Fandom”, in Sharon Marie Ross, Louisa Ellen Stein, editors, Teen Television: Essays on Programming and Fandom, McFarland & Company, →ISBN, page 216:

The same thing occurred among Smallvilles shippers who were divided among supporting Clana (Clark/Lana), Clois (Clark/Lois), Chlark (Chloe/Clark), with some slash fans rooting for the same sex pairing Clex' (Clark/Lex).

2008, Jennifer Gillan, Television and New Media: Must-Click TV, Routledge, published 2011, →ISBN, page 46:

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Clark Kent and Lex Luthor from the television series Smallville.

(transitive, uncommon) To make transsexual.

these embodied female waters are actually present in full flood despite [...] the embrace of the English translation of "Father of Waters" [...].

They are also at times imaged as female.

2009, Cecelia Tichi, Embodiment of a Nation: Human Form in American Places, →ISBN, page 204:

homoantagonism

Engaging in homoantagonism (taunting and possibly behaving violently toward gays), avoiding public intimacy with men, "acting like a thug/hard criminal," and "butching up," defined by one interviewee as "acting manly" and "cocking your hat back" (kp 36), are macho extreme behaviours.

2002 November, Bianca Della Marie Wilson, Robin Lin Miller, “Strategies for Managing Hetereosexism Used Among African American Gay and Bisexual Men”, in Journal of Black Psychology, volume 28, number 4, page 381:

Both Indian homeland and transoceanic East African and US diasporas are represented in contexts of racism, Orientalism, and homoantagonism, but in ways that cut across intersections of oppression that lean one way and, instead, critique, celebrate, and complicate geographies, ethnicities, patriarchies, religions, and sexualities.

2015, Shamira A. Meghani, “Queer South Asian Muslims: the ethnic closet and its secular limits”, in Claire Chambers, Caroline Herbert, editors, Imagining Muslims in South Asia and the Diaspora: Secularism, Religion, Representations, Routledge, →ISBN:

Collectively, hip-hop feminist theorists developed new ideas about and approaches to eradicating patriarchy, misogyny, homoantagonism, and transphobia both within hip-hop and in our communities.
