From my experience, observations and knowledge from media...


I dont think its homophobia - its a differnt kind of ignorance/narrow-mindedness. I think within the gay community there is a presence of fear with associated stigmatization. Gay men who identify more as masculine (e.g. deep voice, toned bodies, enjoy non-camp activities), "straight-acting", as opposed to identifying more as feminine (e.g. squeaky voice, overly groomed, enjoy camp activities) fear being associated as the latter when they "come out".

Similarly, feminine gays resent other feminine gays
a. for being the same sexuality but not sexually appealing
b. by relating with them and self-resenting
c. through fear that society accepts gay couples where both partners are feminine/feminine least as opposed to masculine/feminine and moreso masculine/masculine couples
