gay vague
Ambiguous portrayal in media of someone's sexuality, which may or may not be gay. Straight audiences may miss it but LGBTQ+ audiences may see it that way. First coined in 1997 by Michael Wilke, a reporter for trade publication Advertising Age, who wrote about a Volkswagen Golf commercial that aired during the much-publicized, April 1997 coming-out episode of "Ellen" (watched by 42 million viewers). It was known for the "Da Da Da" song and featured two young men who could be boyfriends or roommates that find a used chair to take home in their hatchback. Volkswagen claimed it didn't intend to hint that the guys were gay but it was okay if audiences read it that way -- a first for advertisers in that era. Later, Subaru stealthily ran billboards featuring LGBTQ+-coded license plates that said "XENA-LVR," a reference to the 1995-2001 show "Xena: Warrior Princess," which had a cult status within the lesbian community, and "P-TOWNIE," which refers to Provincetown, Massachusetts, a popular destination for the queer community. The license plates would only stand out to those in the know. According to Mulryan/Nash Advertising that produced the ads, they were intended to reach general audiences as well as provide a coded outreach to LGBTQ+ audiences with a wink and a nod.

Gay Label Adore this. Ordered for my husband, with the second definition on the back, about the gay filmmaker. Makes a nice discussion starter.
Top notch shipping and exactly what I hoped!!
Best mug i have ever purchased! Subscribe
I love it, but of course the definition Ichose for “Unicorn” is too long and gets cut off after “someone is remarkably attractive.” Is there any way to purchase a second mug that has the rest of the quote on it? They’d make a great set as a present. Please let me know. David Tillinghast dtilling480@gmail.com
