fish basket

A term used by some gay men for the phenomenon of one or more straight women surrounded by gay men at an event. Often occurring at adult-themed events like leather nights or bear runs, those less inclined to cruise will surround the women, preventing them from entering areas of the party they are not welcome.
Those girls came out last night thinking they would have their bachelorette party at the leather bar. They weren't welcome, so we made a fish basket. They didn't make it past the bar.
