Similar to Gatekeeping, the act of shaming, belittling, or alienating individuals from the LGBT+ and wider queer communities on the premise of "not being gay/queer enough".
It most commonly happens to bi/pansexual people currently in a heterosexual relationship, but can affect others such as the genderqueer, or even just someone who rejected another gay.
"Don't you just hate Gaykeeping?"
"Oh man, I know right? The other day this girl called me a fake ass lesbian because of my boyfriend, even though I told her that I'm Bi"
"Ridiculous"
Once a popular passtime, the gardening term Gay Seeding consists of digging a small hole, planting a seed in it, and exclaiming gay-pride phrases in a loud, proud voice, as in, "Be Faaaabulous!!!"
"I put in my garden last week and was gay seeding.
I scared my neighbor lady until she figured out I was urging on my veggie garden, at which point she came out and joined me. We are besties now."
The art of one heterosexual man rerouting another from his romantic obligations — often by delaying or interrupting plans with his girlfriend — in favor of sacred bro time.

This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.
FRIEND A: "Did you just take a stealthie of me?"
FRIEND B (turning phone around): "no I was just using snapchat's new filter, see?"
