When someone is trying to convey a point and it makes sense to you. You do not always have to agree with them, but saying it usually implies you do.
"I think we should go to the pizza place down the street. The waiters are nice and they have a deal tonight."
"Oh that reads, let's go."
In gay slang, means to publicly "call out" or insult someone on their actual flaws (flaws that would normally be taboo to bring up in polite conversation). Equivalent to the term "roast/roasting someone".
Originated in gay black culture, made popular and used by drag queens and gay male bar/club culture. The term "reading" stems from the idea that these called-out flaws are so apparent, they can be perceived/"read" off the person in question as easily as reading a piece of text off a book.
A perfect example of the internal division and active-attempts-break-one-another-down that exists within the already disenfranchised gay male/LBGT community.
