These are not universal definitions. This glossary is provided to aid give others a more thorough but not entirely comprehensive understanding of the significance of these terms.

Before you begin your Freudian psychoanalysis, make sure to mention that you possess a ‘gay-dar’, and don’t forget to detail how accurate it is and has always been.
