Canaries

The homosexual pioneers who move into an undesirable area, carve out a home for themselves, and transform it into an up-and-coming neighborhood, or "gayborhood."

Like canaries in a mine, if they survive, others can stay and thrive, as well.
The rapid influx of canaries served as the saving grace for a neighborhood that was otherwise doomed to a future void of bright colors and Chardonnay.

Canary

A person who makes you less 'you'. Someone who can calm you down, make you less angry and destructive, who reminds you that there is still lots of good and love left in the world.

I. e. Hughie is Butcher's Canary.
Person 1: Dude, did you see how Garret went from almost beating that guy up to laughing about it and hugging Emma in like thirty seconds?

Person 2: Yeah, she's his canary.

Canary

That gay friend you introduce to your crush to see if they are gay or not; usually a gay man who is experienced getting the attention of "straight" men but not exclusively.
Jessica suspected Michael was keeping a secret, so she invited Juan to be her canary and give her insight on whether he was gay or not.
