TX-MOTSS and this website (http://www.fc.net/~zarathus) are the Sole Authorized Global Archives for ANDREW OF AMERICA A N D R E W O F A M E R I C A 's Gay Glossary Word Du Jour ANDREW OF AMERICA here, With Today's NEW Gay Glossary Word: FAG STAG (n. Am. Andrew of Am. 1994) Handsome straight males who enjoy or prefer the company of gay men to their hetero pals. A male "fag hag." Fag Stags may be found roaming the North American continent in droves. They are easily detected by their James Brown T-shirts, dreamy eyes and boyish good looks. Fag Stags love to tell gay men about their girlfriend troubles, appreciate a shoulder to cry on and someone who can whip up spaghetti prima vera from items found in the sadly deficient hetero male kitchen. This symbiotic relationship thrives in an environment where the gay "host" can provide a free haircut the night before the stag's job interview in exchange for copying a Madonna concert tape or the privilege of giving the open-minded male a much needed shoulder massage. The gay male is careful to sublimate his sexual desires claiming that the stag is like the "brother he never had." The stag returns the compliment saying you "remind me of my sister" or if you're lucky: "If ever I had sex with a guy--though I'd never--it would be you. The gay male pretends he knows nothing about cars to play upon the stag's need to assert his masculinity under the hood of a Toyota Celica. The straight male pretends he knows nothing about doing laundry. The gay male claims to understand the mysteries of women. The straight male pretends not to understand the erotic attraction of men to men. The straight male says he is out of aftershave and would the gay male help him pick out a scent his girlfriend would like. The gay male never tells that *he* dumped the Stag's Aqua Velva in the cat box (unnoticed). The Stag's girlfriend sends the gay male flowers and a thank you note. The gay male lets the stag sleep in his bed and cry when his girlfriend dumps him for her tennis instructor. The next morning, the stag pretends he was drunk the night before. The gay male always pretends to be subservient to the need of the stag. Deep down the stag knows that his gay friend is in control... and deeper still, he likes it. The stag will marry and name his third child after the queer. On cold rainy nights, the queer will name his left hand after the stag. ANDREW OF AMERICA.
