Nugget

Nugget is a term derived from the acronym NUG, which stands for "Non Urban Gay." It refers to an individual who identifies as gay but grew up in a rural area where there was limited exposure to openly gay individuals. As a result, nuggets often form their perceptions of how a gay person should behave based on stereotypical sources, leading them to adopt exaggerated mannerisms and behaviors typically associated with flamboyant, catty, or feminine gay stereotypes.
