Sorry, what I meant was that he didn't fall under the 'straight-acting' (as silly and meaningless as that term is) category. There's nothing wrong with being camp, and it should be embraced if it's part of a person's personality, but it would be nice if gay people weren't exclusively characterized as camp/flamboyant in Big Brother UK. In my opinion, that in itself is making a mockery of the gay community.

One of the first steps to getting rid of stereotypes is to stop using the term "straight acting", as that itself perpetuates the "straight = masculine, gay = feminine" stereotypes that we're talking about. Using that term when talking about how you're tired of stereotypes being over-represented is counter-productive, I feel.

I definitely agree with the sentiment, though. Non-stereotypical gay guys should definitely be represented more in Big Brother (alongside those who happen to be more camp of course, the solution isn't to act like camp gays don't exist, but to acknowledge that they're not the only ones who do).

I hear you, but in my defense I wouldn't usually use that term, and was referring to it being brought up earlier on in the thread. But yes, either way diversity, diversity, diversity. Gender, sexuality, age, culture, ethnicity everything, that's what makes for a great show in my opinion

Fair enough, and yeah I definitely agree with you.
