This was my instant reaction to this thread...
You might as well be saying "is Ashleigh the best representation of a straight girl we've had for years?"
... It's irrelevant to his character. Completely. Any person who is being true to themselves and not deliberately altering or exaggerating their character is the best representation of themself as an individual. There's not really anything more to it than that.
Of course it would be fair to say that some people (of all genders, races and sexual persuasions) have exaggerated themselves and not portrayed the person they probably are on a Tuesday afternoon at ASDA... But, some gay men are genuinely effeminate and flamboyant. It's a true representation of their real personality and, therefore, no better nor worse a "representation of a gay man" than someone less camp like Christopher.
