Can a camp man be straight?

Apart from Eddie Izzard, it's not that common is it? So if somebody acts camp they're more likely to be gay than straight?
just because someone acts a certain way, doesn't mean they are gay.

the way someone acts doesn't change the way they feel towards a certain sex.

not all boys who dance are gay, not all girls who play rugby are lesbians.

^^ stereotypes!!^^
You can't ask a question then gloss over the thing that answers it.
Erm... me (Not camp, but I've been described as "slightly camp" )
Some straight guys these days have become more feminine.

But who really knows if they're gay if you don't even ask them?

Straight girls can be tomboys and straight guys can be camp.
Gay girls can be 'girly' and gay guys can be 'manly'.

Eddie Izzard cross dresses, or at least he used to.


He's not especially camp.
I'd suggest that said people probably went through a phase where they questioned their sexuality. But you can't assume one way or the other.

It's entirely possible, yeah.
One of my best friends at school was increeeeeedibly camp yet totally straight. His overt campness meant nobody questioned my sexuality. :tongue:

In terms of statistics, it's not that common is it? As in, it's not likely, so if I see a camp man, he's 'more' likely to be gay, than straight.
I've got a couple of friends who are described as "Camp but not gay". So yes.
Michael McIntyre and Jack Whitehall say hi.

Hmm, I would say for certain (although I have no figures) that a gay person is more likely to be camp. However, this does not mean that a camp person is more likely to be gay. And for the record, I too know camp straight guys.

Androgynous and homosexual are two different things. You are blurring meanings, over internalized stereotypes that you might believe ...
