It's this imaginary mental radar that some people supposedly have that allows them to detect other gays. I'd diagree with it if it weren't for the fact that mine works so well...

Gaydar (a portmanteau of gay and radar) is the intuitive ability to determine whether another person is gay, bisexual, or otherwise not heterosexual. Whether anyone actually has such an ability is a debated question, especially in Western culture.
The idea of "gaydar" relies on indirect senses and intuitions rather than direct questions ("Are you gay?") or fact-finding (like researching the identity of previous romantic partners). It also relies on sensitivity to certain mannerisms: anything from flamboyant or overt rejection of traditional gender roles (including occupation, grooming habits, and so on) to more subtle clues, like one's style preferences or other personal tastes or habits.

Gay day is the ability to recognize another gay person of your own sex when they are near you . It is sort of six sense that alerts you to their presence . Its not a bell going off in your head , Its more of feeling that will come over you when that person is near by . It only works if you are in tune with it . I hope this will give you some in site to what gaydar is .

The mental/physical ability to react to certain body language, mannerisms, speech and dress that detects the possibility of someone being gay or not. Mostly its eye contact with a once over up and down of two peeps of the same sex. That's what I was told anyway by my atheist best friends gay sister. Love in Christ, ~J~ <><

Gaydar is like Radar, it means you can spot a gay person without asking them.

The ability of a gay persone to KNOW someone else is gay, without any telltale signs. IT WORKS, though some is better at it than others.
