What a vile phrase! One can only feel sorry for the poor sad stuffers who feel so bad about themselves this is the best description they can give of themselves. Sorry boys – don’t “act” – acting is false, not real, dishonest, misleading. Such a phrase can only be used to describe oneself if you are profoundly unhappy and insecure with yourself . Don’t kid yourself – if you are so pretentious and dishonest you have to misrepresent yourself with that phrase, chances are an old queen like me out there is going to see right through you and out the other side anyway. Give it up honey – just be yourself and those that really matter will like you anyway.

In my experience, most of us who are in honestly open relationships don’t go advertising that to our straight friends and colleagues for the “negative gay stereotypes” reason you say we need to stop saying it, but I think you overstate the need to eradicate it from our vocabulary. We just need to honest it about.
