Word of the Gay: "Wannabe"

A "wannabe" is a self proclaimed straight man who is interested in gay culture, and is heavily involved in the gay community.

I thought that was Metrosexual.

But anyways, now you put the Spice Girls in my head.

This only applies to men?

I think there's a tragic-self-denial-closetcase - wannabe - metrosexual continuum. My boss is firmly entrenched at one end but sees himself as being at the other. I'll let you guess which way around...

anon this term only applies to a straight man, there probably is a term out there for straight women.

Is "wannabe" meant as an insult? Because it certainly reads like one.

I've never met a wannabe, although I am sure they are very interesting. Why would a straight man want to be involved with gay men?

I have a straight friend who jokes about starting a change ministry to make himself and others gay.

Some of us wannabes find gay culture the only place they can fit in. I know being a straight 28 yo male feminist, it's hard as hell to find other men to be friends with. The result? My friend core is pretty much exclusively lesbian and gay men, with a few straight women thrown in the mix.
