I proposed this in chat the other day, and quite a few people agreed with me.
I said that there was a definable difference between those people who are gay, and those people who are fags. We basically came out with this (rather fuzzy, I know) model:
Gays:
Do NOT want to be called fags. Ever.
Into 'bromances' ie homosexual attractions and love, but usually no sex
Not always just straight or just gay, still have sex with women
Spend a good deal of time trying to keep others finding out about their homosexuality, often in the closet permanently, yet have no problem vocalizing it when they think there is no chance of those they know finding out.
Fags:
Often don't mind being called fags. (the 'Fag Hag' from Eating Out, anyone?)
Worry about whether their shirt goes with their pants
Other assorted gay behaviors, like excessive interior decorating, having 'the lisp', taking a long time to order pizzas....
These are the flamers.
I, personally, fit into the 'gay' portion of this model.
Please, suggest additions and edits to the model; quote the model in your post and have your way with it, then classify yourself (unless you are straight or female, obviously.)
