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.
