Being gay and in high school, while making you the target of harassment by closeted and self loathing homosexuals, does have its advantages. On average homosexuals have their first sexual experiences much earlier in life. First kisses showing up around the age of 9, hand jobs in the 6th grade, falatio as an awkward sevie and rounding home before the freshman year is over. Along with this confusing sexual exploration is the ESP like ability given to queers. This sixth sense is so named “gaydar” which allows the user to know when someone near them is a homosexual. Not everyone’s Gaydar is entirely accurate. For some it is the equivalent of a colorblind (gay) monkey throwing darts into a crowd hoping to find the one red-headed queer present. Some have a perfectly tuned and almost scary clairvoyant gaydar that can even decode summer camp stories by looking at the queer in question. Along with a general instinct several things are looked for.
Hygiene. The high school queer is often more hygienically aware then their straight classmates. Stereotypically they have nice and well kept hair, well controlled eyebrows and clean, tidy, and sometimes even manicured fingernails.
Posture. The High school Queer often walks “funny.” Not funny in the same way a dog trained to walk on its hind legs walks, but funny in the way that a man trying to walk like a woman trying to walk like a man is funny. The high school queer often walks with more awareness of their limps, whether this is good or bad depends entirely on the individual. Some develop a model like walk and others could be described as “floating around.”
Voice. A tried and true sign of queerness, the voice can give away more about a person that what is said with it.
It should also be understood that queers are like spiders. For every one that you see, there are 10 you don’t.
One should also understand that Closet-Queer and Mega-Queer are roles, not archetypes. The high school queer cannot be simply labeled the “flamer” they fit into one of the flowing archetypes.
