AUNT JEMIMAS--(gay slang, Eng. ANDREW OF AMERICA, 1995) a perjorative
	nickname for members of the so-called gay "Log Cabin Republicans"
	club following their abdication of responsibility in preventing
	anti-gay intiatives by the religious right.  The term corresponds
	with "Uncle Tom" [Am. Lit. 19th Cent. *Uncle Tom's Cabin*; Harriet
	Beecher Stowe] as a member of a minority who seeks to conform to
	the oppressor's wishes as to not make trouble.  This effort at
	keeping the peace is often done through the compromise of the minor-
	ity's dignity, integrity, liberty or values. SEE ALSO "Syrup-heads."

EXTRAVADRAGANZA--(ex-TRA-vuv-DRAG-AN-zuh. neologism. ANDREW OF AMERICA, 1995)
	Noun.  A polglot compound word: extravaganza + "drag."  Any big budget
	production featuring crossdressing, transvestitism and/or drag queens
	in a favorable and extravagant light.  Examples: "Too Wong Foo, Thanks
	For Everything, Julie Newmar;" "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert." This
	is not a catchall term, e.g. "The Crying Game" is *not* an extrava-
	draganza, but merely a "gender benderella" [see entry] movie. However,
	"Paris is Burning" also qualifies as a BLAXTRAVADRAGANZA.

FAGSCISM--(pol. sci., neologism, ANDREW OF AMERICA, 1995) The belief that
	it is acceptable, even desirable, for queer civil rights or causes
	to be advanced by coercive, intrusive, or violent tactics. Such
	tactics may include storming churches, involuntary retributive
	"outing," physically abusing "homophobic" adversaries, terrorism,
	censorship, vandalism or anonymous threats.  Fagscism is the 
	political philosophy espoused by ANDREW OF AMERICA's fictional
	character, "Malcolm Sexx."

GENDER BENDERELLA--(gay slang, eng. ANDREW OF AMERICA, 1994) any andro-
	gynous figure or figurine, male of female to seeks to demonstratively
	push the envelope of traditionally accepted sex specific norms.
	Examples: kd lang, Boy George, Saturday Night Live's "Pat," or
	Jay "Groin Boing" Davison in "The Crying Game."

SYRUPHEADS--(gay slang, ANDREW OF AMERICA 1995) Persons who patently and
	uncritically agree with the actions/ philosophy of the Log Cabin
	Republican's leader, Rich Tafel.  Corr. Dittoheads
