Tea Dance

Tea dance, often abreviated as just "tea", is a term for "happy hour" used among men and women in the gay community. Not necessarily just one hour.

The term can also be qualified by Kight" and "low" to qualify the time of day it occurs. Low tea typically takes place earlier in the evening. High tea is later. And in some larger gay resorts, such as Fire Island, there is even mid-tea which takes place between the two.

On his way to the tea dance, Jason was very concerned that he would run into the troll he slept with the night before.

Steven always drinks too much at high tea. His friends are tired of watching him puke in the harbor.

Tea Dance

A, typically Sunday, afternoon dance comprised of gay and queer people. Tea Dances began in the 1950's when same sex dancing was illegal and blossomed in the latr-60's throughout the 1970's. Tea Dances would often serve 'low-tea', Hors d'oeuvres and drinks (including liquor and beer), and create a cruising atmosphere for attendees to connect with one another.

Tea Dance Republican 

A homosexual who not only supports the American Republican party (i.e. a Log Cabin Republican, c.f.) but the radical Tea Party extremists, their candidates and policies, therein. Portmanteau of Tea Partier and Tea Dance, a mainly East Coast phenomenon of Gay nightclub dances held in the late afternoon, at teatime.

Aric: I fully support what the Governor has done to Public Employee Unions. Oh, and this is my, ahem, room-mate, Jared. We came to the costume party as yuppies... Easiest '80s costumes ever.

John: Ah, a "Tea Dance Republican". I should have realized when you were trolling for sympathy about your job firing people by the scores for your corporate masters. (eye roll, and walks away to talk to someone with more brains.)
