Glee! part 2

And I just remembered something else about Glee! One of the episodes entitled Acafellas, one of the characters, Merecedes, falls for a fellow Glee Club member who happens to be gay and busy body Rachel notices this and wants to intervene and says this:

Rachel: We need to have a gayvention...That's a gay intervention!
Tina: It's K-k-k-kurt!" Tina elaborates. He's ladyfabulous.


"Gayvention". Creative no? I was looking for other instances where "gayvention" being used on the web, but I found that the term has been used by people but not exactly in the way that Rachel is using it above.

At , http://eurout.org/2009/02/28/we-are-everywhere-%E2%80%93-february-28?page=0,6 I found:

•Next weekend the annual Gayvention will take place in Hamburg. Gayvention is the queer convention when it comes to lifestyle and includes auctions, erotica quizzes, and speed dating.

So here the word indicates an event, a perhaps a gay convention rather than a gay intervention.

And, the most exciting thing is, I thought I could find a definition on Urban Dictionary, but it hasn't even been defined yet there! So this is very very new. Or maybe, it just hasn't caught on as successfully as other creatively invented words.
