i have so many people that ask questions about the gay life and the community lingo so i have decided to do little weekly teases. let me know what you think
Q: What does what's the T mean?
A term used by the early gay community circa 1970-1989 that indicated some one was the "T"alk of the "T"own, hence the "T". The term was often used by female impersonators to describe a fellow impersonator that did an exceptionally good job on stage in a live lip syncopated performance which was talked about in the gay circles for long periods of time. The term grew to define any memorable person who's actions were or would soon be largely talked about in the gay circles. Also a person who was popular in the gay community would be talked about may have been referred to as The "T"
Have a wonderful week, and be sure to keep up with my "T" this week!
