'Eldergay'

Ok, Rug muncher.

I like it.

Fuck you Eldergay, I’ll use any phrase I want, queen

Sorry, couldn't hear you through all the hissing, OP.

Too bad it stuck. Are you sane one who made the post a few weeks ago wanting to be called “Mantique”? Oh dear me.

^^ Same** not sane

I'm tired of the ELDERGAYS, TELL US ALL ABOUT GENE RAYBURN threads.

it sounds so queer!

Oh the things he would do with that long skinny mic, r7

Your wish is our command, OP. We shall now just call you cuntface.

Fuck off OP. I am 55 and have earned the right to be an eldergay.

Some queen on here was trying to be witty and referred to herself as a priceless "Mantique". First of all that is like the word name ever, it makes cringe and if someone called me a mantique, those would be fighting words.

'Eldergay' is an awesome term.

I’m sure op is tired of alcoholic and rightwinger too. And tired of not being able to bump threads.

We are part of the Jungian archetype of Wise Old Man

The original Basement Dweller

OLD GAY is better. ElderGay is an obnoxious term, but Datalounge classifies everyone. And most of them are elderly. Over 70 years old. White. Gay.

This term comes from many gay mens lifelong obsession of dividing people into who they desire and who they don't. It's sad to be carry that kind of superficiality so far into maturity. So now they are proud to be "elder." Because they no longer get fucked.

If you're truly woke R16 - you should rebel against ANYONE being sidelined just because they are older.

I’m an eldergay, but look 25. Ok, 27…

I used to dislike it a lot, but I’ve grown to accept it.

Oh, FFS. I’m 67. I came out in 1972 (before most folks on this board were born.). I was a “gay activist” I’m proud of the things I did that pushed acceptance of LGTBQ persons forward. So, yes, I’m an eldergay. I don’t mind the term (it’s kinda cute). I just wish we eldergays would get more credit for the things we did that makes life better today for our younger brothers and sisters.

[quote] OLD GAY

R17 are you kidding here? no one likes to be called OLD, older maybe, but not OLD!

I prefer SeniorQueer.

I have a feeling, those who use "Eldergay" on DL are already eldergay adjacent themselves, really young guys are simply not in the loop yet.

I do like gayling, though. Can we keep that at least?

I prefer Éminence grise

r11 must be Carrie from "And Just Like That"--she says that phrase in almost every episode.

Oh fuck off Miss Karen @ r17, and die in a grease fire. I've fought for your rights and did AIDS research since before you were born. Am sadly now finding myself leading a team of scientists who are working on anti-viral therapies for COVID at a late time in my life and career when I should be playing bridge with other Eldergays in Palm Springs by the pool, or tenuously driving a Winnebago too slowly on mountain roads. We are all damned lucky to be alive, let alone enjoy certain civil rights that left some of of us with permanent scars after endless battles. You do not get to tell me what to call myself; I will tell you what time it is and will wipe my floors with your ass before your ageist shitbrain assumes that someone as old as I am is not being fucked regularly at age 61 by my Hot N' Flabby(tm) husbear (age 64) and tries to preach what vocabulary we use. It is YOU who is dividing people into categories and it is you who is falling into "superficiality" due to your insecurities about approaching age 40. Oh, the horrors, lol! Accusing people of being "woke" is a right-wing fool's errand. Am recommending that you stop watching Fox network propaganda. I am not "proud" to be an Eldergay who has severe back pain and can't find his car keys, just grateful to be alive -- despite having to share life on this planet with bigots like you.

^ OLD GAY, whiny and WHITE. ^

I'll thank you later R28. What is it you've done again? You are far too defensive. My name ain't Karen and you don't understand a man. Maybe you never met one?

Mantique is the best word invented in the last 5 years.

Mantique reminds us of the old man stench!

The old white gay men on Datalounge always sound drunk and enraged - just like R28. That's the lesson they teach us younger men. Don't be like you. Sorry.

I hope you're feeling better soon, gramps.

R17 IS woke. Not a bigot. That's exactly his point. Datalounge is site specific for bitter, racist OLD WHITE F@Gs who survived AIDS. They live in a more distant past than my 89 year old grandmother. It's not a normal way of looking at aging. Nobody is elder at 55 years old. Except on this site. DL is a bitter and superficial alternate universe. Misognist, Racist and Ageist.

Wake up, get woke.

On the basis of your being here R32, I will take that to mean that this applies to you.

I like the regal tone of Eldergay.

It’s overused. Jokes here become old fast.

It is not a joke and has been adopted by DL.

Lots of gay men hate the word gay.

Use what you like, but please do not criticize other people's choices.

Life goes on.

[quote]Lots of gay men hate the word gay.

Lots?

[quote]Use what you like, but please do not criticize other people's choices.

Except for ex-gays.

Aww, are the babygays upset?

OK we shall call you "Ohomos"

O for Old

Homos for Homosexuals

^ Yeah, um, we got it... but thanks for the breakdown

r41

You didn't did you? If you did you wouldn't care, but by saying you got it, it shows that you didn't.

“I came out in 1972 (before most folks on this board were born.)“

Gurl, most folks on this board had already sucked cock by 1972.

Well, I never used it before. But now that I know you hate it, I'll make sure to.

'Eldergay' trips off the tongue well, and is rhythmically pleasing. Seems as established now as the equally pleasing 'gayling.'

'Mantique' isn't nearly so appealing. Sounds like a try-too-hard beauty product or would-be pleasure resort.

Gays are yas kweens, young and old.

My eldergay loves it, so that's what I call him.

But you are Blanche. You are!

@r42, Yeah, we really did get it, babygay

I'm triggered.

Miss OP has stated her boundaries, and is telling you NOW so she won't have to tell you LATER!!!!

"I'm triggered. "

I'm tired

The wise old gay , that would make us wizards

R36- The word I DON'T like is

HOMOSEXUAL

R43- I did not have sex with another guy until I was 23 years old- Is that late?

^ Depends, if you die tomorrow, yeah

R57- That was in the summer of 1989.

^ You've been fucking for 33 years and you're worried about when you started?

R59- I did not fuck a guy until the winter of 1997. I wasn't even attracted to him.

In the summer of 1989 before my impending FIRST time, I went to CVS and bought condoms. Just before I had sex with this butch guy from Long Island I said- I'm not into anything unsafe. I had common sense even at 23 years old. The only thing I've ever got from a guys is CRABS- twice.

The Eldergays theme song.

"The only thing I've ever got from a guys is CRABS- twice. "

I hear ya, pass the A-200

Would you prefer: Cum-belching whore?

I like eldergay, so my opinion cancels out OP's and you're all free to use it again.

r55, that is interesting because n the 70s the ancient Aunties who held court in their parlors and gay bars, HATED gay and asked people to call them HOMOSEXUAL. And it must be heard, as said by Quentin Crisp in the Naked Civil Servant, Overly pronouncing each syllable. Ho.Mo...Sek.shul

^ Well, those guys are all dead now

Would 'Broken Down Old Queen' suffice?

I'm all in favor of certain people having their own, you know, lifestyle, but...why did they have to take the word "gay"? It's such a lovely word! They've...they've robbed the English language of a beautiful word. I...they have. I mean, now if I say to one of my friends, or one of my friends asks me, "How is your son or daughter feeling?", and I say "Oh, they're feeling gay"...it's a scandal. I've had to stop using the word altogether. Oh. So they've taken "gay" away from us. What was wrong with "pervert"?

And you can't use the word "faggot" anymore either, you...it used to be a lovely bundle of sticks. On cold winters' nights you'd throw another faggot on the fire. But now they work in restaurants, making your salads, being snotty and still expecting fifteen percent.

"Cunnilingus"? My grandfather drove one across America. With pride. He bought the first one off the lot in 1923. Oh, but now they're all gone, forgotten - the Cunnilingus, the Rambler. Oh. I suppose "Rambler" means something filthy now too, does it, does it mean something...?

Can't use the word "fisting" anymore either, oh no. No, no. But back in the forties the girls and I used to fist every Sunday afternoon. It was a knitting stitch, and a very difficult one. I made a lovely yellow afghan full of tiny, intricate fistings, that won a, that won a grand prize at a, at a jamboree. Yeah. Gave up knitting altogether, though, in 1979, finally found out what the word meant, oh no. No, no. I took that afghan with all that lovely fisting and put it up the poop-hole. Oh, that's, that's what we used to call attic. Now they're all gone, locked away, like those beautiful words.

Well, I guess I'm just supposed to fade away, in silence...or be modern and accept it. Fine. I guess I'll just have a Fuck Off.

Oh, that used to be a summer drink, you know.

^ It's funny now, but people were really mad that we "stole" the word "Gay"

... As if

I like it better than Faggasaurus.

As a teenager working in fast food, my gorgeous co-worker Connor used to whisper to me, "he's obviously a member of the faggotry".

BIG GAY AL!

OP is your name Brandon?

I like to pronounce homosexual as homo-SEK-syoo-ul.

You young 'uns should look up to the Eldergays and pay respects to them for creating for you a better world than the one they were born into. So every time you meet an eldergay fold your hand and say Namaste and thank you. Then lift your caftan and present hole.

^ Yeah, that's ok... Just buy US a drink for a change

I prefer "Granny Fag"

I like "homosexualist."

Sounds klassy.

Maybe we should start using British terms like Nancy Boy and Poofter

I find its use charming in this environment.

[quote]Maybe we should start using British terms like Nancy Boy and Poofter

Such a charming accompaniment to good old-fashioned queer-bashing, verbal and physical.

At least it’s not ‘Old Queen!’

The only people who hate the term are under 40 and living in desperate fear of that number.
