adj 1. when an
act is gay and racist simultaneously 2. involving
gayness and racism in the same situation
Note: Unlike the other definitions, this sense has nothing to do with
homophobiaThe sitcom Community actually had two gaycist moments:
-Abed is hand feeding a Black man chicken fingers with a lover's tease to it as the
guy has a smile on his face. The chicken part is a no-brainer but read on...
-On a dare from Chang, Pierce, and more to the point,
Troy, a Black character, show up to a school dance in ladies' pantsuits. The gaycism is obvious when one considers the issue of Hollywood frequently placing Black actors in emasculating situations
Also gaycist is when a flamboyant gay man, Matthew Miller, auditions for American Idol. When he finishes, he says that a lady once told him he sounded
like a "skinny Black woman." And mockery ensues...
Simon: We're not sure whether it's
Matthew or Martha
Randy: Is Martha the name of a skinny Black woman?
Matthew: No, if I was a skinny Black woman, I think I'd be
like Shakiki or Shaquana
