So apparently my dear friend ( of the female persuasion) has been trying to allow me access to sleepovers at her home with my friends ( all of a female persuasion). And the excuse was of course "He's gay" which brought up a whole bunch of new conversation.

ANYWAY on to the topic.
Apparently her mother has described me as a "Flaming gay" I have no idea what that is... So the conversation goes directly to if I have a lisp and all the gay stereotypical delights. So anyway I was wondering.
Does anyone know what a "Flaming Gay" is o - o?

Its a derogatory term for a blatantly effeminate homosexual. Its etymological origin is derived from the "fact" that gay people burn in hell. So hes a flamer or flaming was an insult and now its used as slang for a gay person whom you can tell is gay.

She probably doesn't know it has such dickish connotation to it, most don't. I hear plenty of gay guys use it when referring to eachother.

A "flaming gay" has different definitions from person to person however my general understanding is that a "flaming gay" is typically a homosexual male who tends to be rather boisterous and excessively feminine. They tend to display more qualities that a bubbly girl might rather than a rough and tough boy. It's usually used a derogative and carries heavy negative connotations.

And I might add, that if I were you I would definitely have a polite talk with my friend about her mother's perception of you and simply make a statement that it's not entirely appreciated.

Whatever b***h, let your flame BURN BRIGHTLY! anyone who has anything negative about you loving somone obviously has thier own issues and insecurity. and she probably didn't mean anything too serious by it anyway. when heterosexual people who arent very familliar with gay people get involved a lot of social faux paus take place.cheer up. smile. and be the best b***h you can be. <3

Could very well mean she is implying effeminate, flamboyant or girly 'behaviour', but she could also just mean you are very out and proud and make your sexuality very known (though not necessarily implying feminin or girly per say).

Another supposed origin of it is the term "f**" which is a stick for burning. Since there was a point in time when gay people were burned at the stake... Just another step in the burning in hell process I suppose though. If you two get along though I don't suppose she meant any malice behind it. Just an unfortunately rude paring of words.
