The new adventures of old gays: Which "gay" are you?

The New York Observer has an interesting article about what they call "New Gays" and "New Old Gays", and "tastes great, less filling" gays.

Okay, that last one isn't really included.

According to the article, the "New Old Gay" is defined thusly:

"To be classified as a New Old Gay requires more than an appreciation of Patti LuPone, though love of somewhat tragic, just a tad grotesque, totally fabulous divas is a requirement. In some ways the New Old Gay can be read as a reassertion of a gay identity that had all but been given up for dead: If gays can be married and have children and live contentedly in the suburbs, or on the other end of the spectrum, do the same drugs at the same loft parties as their Oberlin classmates, and if everyone thinks AIDS is no more serious than diabetes, then, really, what’s the difference between the gays and the straights? By dialing back to and reinventing the old gay stereotypes, they may have the best shot at reclaiming gayness as something actually different."

Which do you prefer? Your level of gayness may depend on it!

Of course, the "New Gay" will have none of that, and according to the article, looks at the "New Old Gays" with disdain, if not outright rejection.

So what is the difference between "New" and "New Old"? Here's a sampler:

"Project Runway Season 1 contestant Austin Scarlett is New Old Gay, Project Runway Season 4 winner Christian Siriano is New Gay. The Scissor Sisters are New Gay. Rufus Wainwright flirts with being New Old Gay, but he’s really New Gay in a Judy Garland costume. New Old Gay is The Golden Girls; New Gay is America’s Next Top Model. The New Old Gay appreciates and embraces camp and high kitsch, but not ironically."

Well, I'm in big trouble. I like all of the above, so does that make me "New Old New Gay", or "Old New New Gay", or does it just make me tired of all of this?
