At least it wasn't written by Jennifer 8. Lee.
It's things like this that make me want to punch the NYT.
I don't get it. What's wrong with the article?
Well, I haven't read it because I predict it will infuriate me, but these things are usually exercises in inventing a demographic that might correspond to some people the author knew in college.
Even Phoebe Maltz knows better.
And now I'm going off to the MCA just to foil any attempt of yours to hold me accountable.

Ok, but I'm cool with that.
geez, it sounds like Robin's got something us his ass.
So gay-vague people are like metrosexuals, but they talk in a high lispy voice?
let's just admit that gay-vague is the new term for metrosexual, because someone at the Times got tired of the term metrosexual, and be done with it.
Actually, first let's swear never to use the words "gay-vague" or "metrosexual" again. Then let's go get drunk. Then we can be done with it.
What b-wo said. I read the article and it struck me as nothing so much as an attempt to invent a new word. Gay-vague! I can say it's different from metrosexual! I can interview people and say that I've found a new trend!
Maybe I should call my new style of journalism 'trend-envisioning'! And then I can, like, totally be relevant, instead of an incompetent bored journalist!
It reminded me of that article where the author breathlessly explained the sudden fear that straight men have of being seen in public, now that gay couples are everywhere!!!!111!!!!
That grid is teh funny, though.
