gay as paint


gay as paint is a bygone term that originally was used to describe something that had been painted in bright vivid colors (when gay meant bright, vivacious and sparkling before its -ssociation with h-m-s-xuals). thus, to be gay as paint meant something was as “gay (bright) as paint…made it possible”

jacqueline on-ssis has been quoted using that term to describe truman capote. in a conversation she had with joan kennedy, the latter asked if capote was gay… jackie replied, “he’s so gay, he’s gay as paint.” by then the term had morphed to describe flamboyant h-m-s-xuals in a tongue-in-cheek nod to the reframing of gay as a h-m-s-xual term.
“he’s so gay, he is gay as paint.”
