@myrea:
it takes a lot more of masculinity to be camp in a dumbed down society that can only interprer it as a joke.
And let's be fair: not only straights interpret those camp guys as a joke; many gay guys do it as well, which is very sad. I always say that gay guys should know better, but instead they have all those prejudices other people also have. I don't deny the existence of 'preference', but doesn't it tell us something that so many gay guys have this 'preference' for 'masculine' guys, and choose to express that preference so aggressivelly in apps such as Grindr, by saying 'fems gtfo' and things like that? As it was said before: its way easier to deal with prejudice if you look masculine and only hang out with other masculine guys… in other words: if you disguise yourself and try to look invisible, to look 'more straight'. Well but I'll say that: if people don't like camp guys sexually, the least they can do is respect them... because they are much more responsible for gay visibility, and suffer much more prejudice then all those 'invisible gays'.
