By saying that you are saying that having a parter is somehow wrong… which cuts right to the heart of the matter. Until hetero's understand that it's no more 'un-natural' to have a same sex partner than it is to have an opposite sex partner, then this discussion can go nowhere. And for anybody that wants to come back with 'of course it's un-natural to have a same sex parter' line…. give it up, that's a mute point, it's not your job to set the laws of the universe… and until (speaking about gay men here) you've had a prostate orgasm, you have NO idea what you're saying.

    Apart from truly effeminate gay men, I would venture to say that most gay men don’t do camp on a daily basis. The reason that some gay men like to ‘camp it up’ in a social setting is really fairly plain. It’s no different than the reason that every person on a baseball team wears one kind of jersery, or the reason girlscouts wear those green dresses. Solidarity. People who are historically opressed tend to develop their own culture in lieu of the culture they are being excluded from. Camp is a way to laugh at yourself and at the same time feel like you belong to gay society group. I can’t do it unless I’m drinking… otherwise it seems too outside my experience and I would only feel like I was acting. Certainly camp isn’t for every gay man. I know gay men who are much more masculine that any straight man. So the rule isn’t universial. You’ve never seen anything as funny as a bunch of burly, hairy arm pitted, stache wearing construction workers doing drag. Camp is a toned down version of that.
