London, England—GayDar (long described as an inner signal experienced by the experienced, one that tells them if a nearby person is gay or interested) now bids to become a technical reality.
GayDar threatens to eliminate leisurely cruising altogether. And, perhaps, to attract the uninvited. Not every gay male is equipped with natural GayDar, say its creators, and this invention will also reassure gay men who fear the making of publicly embarrassing mistakes. Marketed for 21 pounds (plus packaging and mailing) GayDar advertises itself as an assist to men concerned over how they spend too much time cruising and promises that the GayDar alarm is wholly "discreet." In the manner of a pager, it goes off only in the vicinity of other GayDar alarms. Questions are already flying about this new technical device. What safety-catch, it is asked, guarantees it will not get into the hands of entrapment police or anti-gay bigots. Gay businesses in London, Brighton and Manchester have already received GayDar in bulk. Its retailers say it will be sold to individuals only after enough GayDars have been sold in quantity so as to guarantee to new buyers that they won't be going cruising for naught because they are the first persons on their blocks to buy GarDar. |
