i.e. "faggotry", as anybody under 25 will tell you... but what
would convey the same impact in forums where there are people
over 25 and still think "gay" just means homosexual?

So, a modern example would be: "The Union of Concerned
Scientists? More like The Union of Care Bear Faggotry". So what
would the 1970s equivalent of that be?

Drama Queenery, perhaps? ("The Union of Drama Queen Scientists.")

I'm over 25, and knew instantly what the term meant. Not a chance in
hell that I'll ever use it, of course. I also have no difficulty in
remembering the proper meaning of "gay". I suggest Sandman simply avoids
forums where those over 25 don't know that "gay" has an older meaning or
three: there's unlikely to be much intelligent conversation there.
