I also think a lot of gay men feel the need to exaggerate their "gayness" to prove something to the world... I have a gay friend who is very comfortable with his sexuality, he doesn't hide it and is quite open, but him and his partner lead a completely normal life like any other couple.. they don't "camp it up"/only frequent gay bars/walk about with their tongues down each others throats etc. They are comfortable with themselves and don't feel the need to shout to the world "We're gay and we'll show you we're gay and the whole world had better accept it"

And yes you're right, he is an effing moron!

And just to mention your spider analogy... I am not arachnaphobic; I don't scream or shiver when I see a spider. I don't however go out my way to look at them. I don't enjoy looking at them, I don't have a reason for it, I just don't

I still think they are homophobic to a certain extent. They are uncomfortable seeing gay men.

Camp gay men will always exist, it's just who you are. I feel a twinge of campness in me sometimes. It's not something you can control and it's not something you fake FFS. Why are straight people shoving it down my throat [lolz] that they are straight by only frequenting straight bars and jamming each others tongues down there throats?

See how ridiculous that argument sounds? Gay people are proud to be gay. Good for them. Do you not think, maybe, the fact that they brag about it MAY have something to do with the fact that homophobia still exists and grown men are still uncomfortable around gays?
