Someone who gives every appearance of being homosexual, but is in fact heterosexual. A fauxmosexual male may display metrosexual attention to hygiene, style, and culture, have an effeminate speech pattern or display effeminate behavoir in gesticulation and mannerism, and/or give the basic impression of being gay. A faumosexual female may be fairly butch in appearance and style, display a militant feminist ("feminazi") attitude toward men, or show strong proclivities toward Lilith Fair or other female empowerment. These are the people you "just know" are gay, but who seem to show proof to the contrary.
People say that Tom Cruise is gay, but I think he's just a fauxmosexual.
I work with this guy who wears nuthugger jeans and talks with a total San Fran lisp, but apparently he's not actually a fag; he's just a fauxmosexual.
I totally thought Liz was a dyke because of her shaved head and leather, but I met her boyfriend yesterday. Talk about textbook fauxmosexual.

1. n - a straight man/boy, who puts on the affectation of gayness to get attention and affection from gay boys, with the underhanded goal of attracting girls. While this may include some of the elements of metrosexuality, such as fashion, and pampering, it is more concerned with mannerisms, and body language, and tastes associated with, and directed toward, gay men.

No, it's part of his appeal to the gay audiences - but really he's just a fauxmosexual

There is another meaning of the term 'fauxmosexual' dim:'fauxmo'.
This is a person who chooses to distance him/herself from the hetero norm of society, whether or not s/he is straight, gay or bi.
A fauxmo is a self-identified politically aware person who has probably read Foucault, or has at least heard of him.
Fauxmos often do not display the typical tropes of heterosexual society such as marriage, kids, mortgages and patio heaters.
Fauxmos do understand the importance of valuing individuals on their own merits and qualities and not judging or stereotyping them according to limiting memes and prejudiced views of sexuality and gendered behaviour.
