The innocuous, straight-seeming gay friend that you can introduce to homophobic people. A 'starter' gay.
Ken is the perfect gateway gay to bring over for Thanksgiving - he can bro out with my homophobic grandfather over football and car engines but he'll still make sure to mention that he's gay near the end of the evening. Can't wait for that moment.

Your gateway band is the band you first listened to which completely opened up your world of music.
The band which was the beginning of you developing a decent taste in music.
Indie kids often use it to describe the first indie band they got into. But this term can apply to particular genre of music.

Guy-who-only-listens-to-commercial-rock: *listening to Nickelback*
Me: *hands him a bright eyes cd* Put down that rubbish, listen to this, and enjoy.
Guy-who-only-listens-to-commercial-rock: *listens to Bright Eyes* OMG, this is amazing! *stomps on Nickelback*
He then turns into either a pretentious indie kid, or just develops a decent taste in music. Yay
Bright Eyes was his gateway band.

A guy you hang out with for the purposes of meeting new people. There is usually little romantic interest, though you may lead him on.
"Who him? No I don't like him. He's just the gateway guy.

A gateway cat is a cat that leads its owner to get multiple cats. It starts when someone adopts or buys a single cat. Eventually this person will get another cat to keep the original cat (the gateway cat) company or some other lame excuse. Before you know it, the individual has 40 something cats, is single, and appears on the show "Animal Hoarders".
Pam "I'd like to get a pet. Should I get a cat?"
Amy "NO! It isn't just a cat, it's a gateway cat. You can't have just one. Why don't you get a rabbit instead?"
