From modal + -ize.
Meanings
-
To become or cause to become modal
There is a new contradiction inside the gay community, which is that it's becoming more 'modalized', to use a technical term. I'm referring to the clone system, or any kind of system like it. The gay ghetto is not a real integration of gays into society. It's just a concentration of the gay population.
