Datekeeping 

Similar to Gatekeeping, Datekeeping is to make your outfits or ideas exclusive in order to protect them from being seen by the person you are going on a future date with.

Guy 1: "You should ask her if she likes your outfits!"
Guy 2: "No dude! I'm datekeeping my new outfits from Hadey until our date in May."
Guy 1: "Ohh okay!"

Gatekeeping 

When someone takes it upon themselves to decide who does or does not have access or rights to a community or identity.

"I love punk bands like Green Day!"
"Ugh, they're not even punk. They totally sold out."

"Oh man, I love Harry Potter. I am such a geek!"
"Hardly. Talk to me when you're into theoretical physics."

"Erika Moen is my favorite queer cartoonist."
"She's not queer, she married a man!"
"Quit your gatekeeping. No one died and made you Queen of the Gays!"

Gatekeeping 

A word used to describe when someone sets a standard/limit on what someone must do to call themselves a 'true fan' of something/someone.

Joe: So what TV shows do you like?
Erin: Well, I'm a huge fan of Doctor Who. I also...
Joe: Doctor Who? I LOVE that show. When did you start watching.
Erin: Back in 2005 when the show was restarted.
Joe: Ah, you see, I was watching the classic series long before then. You can't really call yourself a true fan.

Erin: But I have a ton of the merchandise, and I've met David Tennant...
Joe: Oh, you're a fan definitely but not a proper fan. We've been there since long before the BBC revived the show.
Ted: Dude, stop gatekeeping the show. A fan is a fan. You don't need to set a standard.

Gatekeeping 

When someone uses a hobby or interest as a means of elevating themselves above others to give oneself a sense of being superior transforming their passion or knowledge about a particular subject into an ugly tool of self-inflation.

Gatekeeping 

When someone takes it upon themselves to decide who has access to something

Gatekeeping is literally just:

YOU'RE NOT A REAL (insert something here) IF YOU DON’T (insert completely arbitrary thing here)!!!1!1!11!

Gatekeeping 

When someone limits people from certain hobbies/memories/activities over something as small as the year that they were born in.

Gatekeeping is frowned upon, so I don't recommend doing it. It's also a really stupid thing to do.

Example of gatekeeping:
Anyone born in 2007 is a tide pod eating 2010 kid who doesn't deserve to have a opinion.

Please don't gatekeep, its really rude and immature. I just wanted to show an example of how gatekeeping is used.
