Gaydar is usually based of stereotypes... Like if a lesbian girl has her hands in her pockets often, she is wearing something rainbow, her voice is monotone, she merely has the "butch" outlook (short hair, baggy clothes, sweatpants, bandannas, converse, etc..), the "gay" walk.. if you are gay you know what I'm talking about. You can just tell when they walk. It's... different, uhm... also the eye contact. If you look into someone's eyes of the same gender and they look back and keep eye contact with you.. that's usually a sign, and also if you want to be a creeper and check someone's facebook page.. often if they don't have a certain gender in their "interests" catagory, that is also a big hint..

Although all of these traits are things most straight, or other gay people look for in males and females the most polite thing to do is just ask them because there are a lot of femine gay girls and muscular gay guys. That's just how it words. :)

totally idiotic.

gay men aren't all 'feminine' nor lesbians 'masculine'

Don't be underestimate with someone because we are the same basically. Who knows if they want to be Lesbian, Gay, Bisex, and Transgender. If they can make a request, I make sure they don't want to be like that.

We are human who shouldn't judge someone in bad thing because we also not perfect.
