Any group or social network of
homosexual males that partakes in, spreads, or otherwise promotes rumors and/or
gossip. Often involves multiple
ex-boyfriends/lovers. On college campuses, it typically consists of every gay man on campus, except for a few who have been excluded for refusing to partake in gossiping.
Jane: Did you here that
John, that soccer jock in Jim's fraternity, is
gay? Yea, I heard it through the gayvine.
Jack: I don't care; I don't gossip about people's sexualities. That's their own business.
