[Ads-l] Antedating of "Gaydar"

[Shapiro, Fred]

gaydar (OED 1988)


1986 _GALA Review_ July 2 (Archives of Sexuality & Gender)  There were counselors from church outreach groups for gays and lesbians, and if my "gaydar" was working right, an above average number of homosexuals, some of whom are probably the last to know.
