Summary
The Gay Bit: Is Your Gaydar Broken? Gay face is real, the metrosexual has destroyed everyone's gaydar, and cargo shorts are basically a straight man's flag. In this week's Gay Bit, Zach Randles-Friedman gets into one of gay culture's most entertaining ongoing debates — how do you actually spot a gay man? Zach covers gay archetypes (bears, twinks, twunks, the screechy queens with too many S's), the metrosexual phenomenon, gender-neutral fashion, the S-translator, and why this new generation of guys has made reading a room nearly impossible. Plus: the accidental straight man who spent a week at a gay bar, and the early relationship moment that almost ended Zach and Andrew for good. Funny, honest, and completely unapologetic — this is The Gay Bit. The Gay Bit drops every Friday as part of Everything & Anything…and a Bit Gay with Zach Randles-Friedman.
