You tell 'em Sonny!
50 year old elder gay who looks 41.
'Eldergay' is infinitely more successful than any comparable age-related slur.
you think eldergay is a slur... hahahah
I like it

That is because being a chrone, you are a much refered elderlez, Miss Ann.
No, OP. Just no.
Oh honey, no. I'm on the cusp of eldergay and I still say....gurl. No. Just no.

Yeah. I have to say bad comparison for a number of reasons.
Nothing here to see, folks. Just the dementia on display.
Well, it is definitely akin to calling a heterosexual who is a senior, an "ELDERSTRAIGHT"

r16, the majority takes the unadorned adjective. They are simply seniors or elders. Only in the pejorative do they receive an adjective: elder crackers. Senior hoodies.
The people who object to the term eldergay are the same ones who've been lying about their ages for the last forty years. You're old. Deal with it.

Getting to be elder, old or senior is much better than dying young. Here's hoping you all get to be old.
There%20I%20said%20it.
"There are no Hollywood stars speaking out for the elderly. They're forgotten, bewildered, and I don't think it's because people are cruel or don't care. It's because you don't want to think about your own mortality. I think people don't talk about it enough. There's a strange arrogance. Sometimes being old is used as an insult, which is bizarre because, if you're lucky, that's literally what's going to happen to you. It's a strange thing to gloat about: being born recently." Ricky Gervais (51), wiser than he often seems.
R18 is correct.
Hissssssssss!
Just don't call me an old fart.
I like the word. Being a village elder in some cultures is to be revered. Plus we got to see great performers in their heydays. Who will you be bragging about 40-50 years from now?
65
R4, thank you for that third asterisk. It's appreciated.
R18, not on DL. Here on DL it's a slam, an insult. Meant as a sign of respect? Hardly. As for lying about ages, wrong. Passably witty but wrong.
"Eldersister" or "Old homosexual" are better terms
Eldergay is funny and cute. I think it's tender in a way :)
No.. with eldergay comes wisdom, with the n word comes a history of slavery, racism and white supremacy.

Guys sometimes, i mean a lot of times you make me laugh with your questions and with your comments. You seem so sweet, insecure and such BIG FUZZBALLS! GOD I FEEL SO CORNY NOW, YOU ARE BIG KIDS!

F&F OP.
I'm 44 and I think "eldergay" is a riot. Lots of humorless prisses here.
Eldergay is lovely and elegant. Not a slur at all.

With fate and that rearview mirror in mind, here are a few things beyond the limbo I'm quite probably beyond doing. So, join me in just saying a post-50 No! to: Parkour. Jell-O shots. Karaoke after midnight. Karaoke after Jell-O shots. Trying to break a plank with your head. Mud wrestling (intentional). Crowd surfing to the mosh pit. Joining the circus. Joining the ashram. Drinking champagne from your son's boyfriend's shoe. Drinking champagne from your daughter's girlfriend's shoe. Drinking champagne from your own shoe. Xtreme bingo cruises. Collecting owls made of shells, frogs made of ceramic or lawn gnomes made of anything — really, really anything. Playing basketball in high heels. Throwing a wet T-shirt contest. Getting publicly and verbally excited about the number of stamps in your passport, zeroes in your paycheck, capital letters before or after your name (unless they're H.R.H.), number of names on your phone-favorites list, number of people you could have married, number of people you couldn't have married, the size of your acreage … or the size of your anything else. Explaining your personal role in the fact that your brother's kids "never really got into any of that stuff …" Explaining your personal role in the fact that your sister's kids got into an Ivy League college. Explaining your personal role in starting the rumor that Paul was dead. Single-spacing your Christmas letter. The Dougie. Giving up — ever.
When I hear "eldergay," I immediately get an image of Quentin Crisp.

R32, do you think that being considered and called an eldergay is a riot? Just curious.
"...old chrone..." Oh, dear.
Barbra at the Bon Soir! Bette at the baths! Alice Faye festival on TCM! FOLLIES!
I consider it a badge of honor.
Eldergay
Walking onto an airliner without people touching our bodies.
Oh, and btw, if you think that "eldergay" is some derogatory name used by DL gaylings to insult and demean the elder gays? I got news for you: there ARE NO GAYLINGS ON DATALOUNGE. The DL is made up entirely of elder gays.
r41: Just about to post the same thing--according to the poll, most of the posters here are over 40. You could change the name from DL to EG.com (eldergay). Ironic.
I find it hilarious that the eldergays who call everyone a fatty or a frau roll up into a little ball and start crying when they're called an eldergay. HILARIOUS.
If the gaylings don't want to grow old, they should kill themselves at age 30.

Think about this gaylings -- right now, at this very moment, all around the world, future hot guys, str8 bros and frat jocks are being born. The ones who are going to be ignore you when you're an elder gay. So basically, you're already to old. Hope that puts it in perspective.
"...you're already to old."
R46 you forgot the "Oh, dear."
I was watching the local news the other evening, and the report was of an elderly man, 55, getting a DUI in Palm Desert. Frankly (at 56), I don't care if I'm called eldergay, geezer, old as dirt, walking corpse or whatever. Give me a senior discount and I'm a happy elderly eldergay.
OP may have a point, but I'm more inclined to agree with the poster who argued that 'eldergay' is the new 'n**dles.'
Bitch, please...
You couldn't be more wrong OP. I am 60 years old and very proud to be an eldergay. I've worked long and hard to get to this point and I'm certainly not ashamed of my elder status.
