clowncar

1. A situation that is irretrievably ridiculous and fucked up.
2. A state of affairs that resembles the concept of dozens of adults dressed in bright colors with synthetic wigs and enormous shoes emerging one by one from an impossibly tiny car
3. A circumstance, incident or person that seems simple from the outside but is in fact vast, labyrinthine, complex and more likely than not, a fiasco.
4. A situation, person or event that is worthy of mockery, scorn or derision.

Gateway Gay

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.
