    Agreed. I'm straight(ish) - but it's the camp men that do it for me.

    Man, I can't believe no one's brought up the "Should it be called 'straight-acting'? Is it 'acting'? Why must you judge me?!" debate yet... [/can of worms]

    Topic: Meh. I do know guys who play it up because they're not quite comfortable with it and think that campness is necessary for people to accept them as "a gay", but there are just as many (if not more) who are naturally like that. That said, I do ****ing detest people who use campness, or the affectation thereof, as an excuse to be downright rude and twat-like (for evidence of such see: The George, on any given night)

    Some people think I am obviously gay and others think I act totally straight. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
    What’s especially stupid is that in this post-liberation, post metrosexual, post-everything age, there’s no such thing as “acting straight” or “acting gay.” Gaydar totally doesn’t work anymore. The whole concept is so 1993.

    Camp? Hmm. Doesnt' bug me in slightest. As long as someone is being themselves. What DOES bug me though is these butch fellas who look down on us camp fellas! They seem to think they're somehow better because they can act like "real men". It absoutly and completly wrecks my head. I mean it's homophobia in itself. It's such bull****e!
