“Toinen näkyvä uudissanojen ryväs
ovat uudet seksuaalit. Sanakirja
tuntee vain hetero-, homo- ja
transseksuaalin. Uuden trendin
aloitti metroseksuaali. Sillä ei
ollutkaan enää mitään tekemistä
seksuaalisen suuntautumisen kanssa.
Sen sijaan metroseksuaali on aivan
uudenlainen tapaus: heteromies,
joka on kiinnostunut ulkonäöstään
ja käyttää siihen myös rahaa.”
