I've seen a lot of people on here say "Well, as long as they're not gay acting around me" or "as long as they don't cram it down my throat or shove it in my face".
I'm really getting tired of this contradiction, no one tells women to stop acting too feminine or masculine while they're around other girls, so why should effeminite men not act the way they are just because some people might find it uncomfrotable?
most of what you said made a lot of sense its just this bit im having trouble with. I think it comes from the fact that being homosexual and acting gay (specifically camp) are different things. Now most people will at least theoretically and mentally accept the idea and principle of homosexuality as ok but being faced with an individual who is acting to different norms and values and in ways your not used can be a shock to the system. I full understand that some traits and some behaviours of your prefence probably do hold true. But the whole overly camp argument seems like comparing your average bloke to a car nut like jeremy clarkson, its like most things in life, the difference is most blokes will have an ok-decent knowledge of cars, whereas the car nut will only know about cars and talk about that, which would also be annoying, the problem with the camp person is entirely that they know very little outside of their expected sphere of influence.
In summary a well rounded person who has formed his own opinions is better than anybody who acts in a particular way to be seen a certain way.
On a side note before any1 accuses me of gay bashing, i have been kissed by several men, and my best friend is bi-sexual (but still in the closet). I have no problem with the choice.
