The Kevin Spacey defense 

When you get called on doing something illegal or deplorable and come out as gay to deflect blame.
I hear that crazy guy that killed a bunch of people used the Kevin Spacey defense. What a hero.

Kevin Spacey Defence 

An excuse to get out of a sticky situation by coming out as gay, and thus attempting to undermine the whole point of the allegation.
Guy 1: So I owe you some money after a game of poker. I don't remember this ever happening though and I deeply apologise, these allegations have made me address other aspects of my life and it is now that I choose to live my life as a gay man.
Guy 2: Dude don't use the Kevin Spacey Defence
