According to the rules pamphlet of this exquisite, tongue-in-cheek, parody game, "GAY MONOPOLY . . . is a 'Celebration of Gay Life' with the emphasis on 'Celebrate.'

Just do it with style and taste. Let's face it, what good is it building the biggest monopoly in the game if your property colors don't match your eyeshadow? Puleeze!"
