An outside gay is the type of gay person that you wouldnât know is gay at all. They dont talk about being gay unless its with someone they trust. They dont partake in the online lgbt politics. If you walked past one on the streets you wouldnât know it at all. However they arent hiding their sexuality, they arenât ashamed of it. Theyâre sexually is just a part of who they are not their defining characteristic.
Did you hear that Derek was gay? I had no idea!
Well yeah, heâs just an outside gay. Itâs not a big deal to him.
