Why do gay people act a certain way?

a nymphomaniac is necessarily a woman. A man with an insatiable appetite for sex is a satyromaniac (cf. nymphs and satyrs). I wonder though whether the etymology doesn't as well imply heterosexual context.

Had you not stated you were attracted, we wouldn't have known! If a homosexual doesn't state he loves another man (or she loves another women) or act like the opposite sex, they can choose to keep it to themselves.

Homophobes could state that homosexuals can keep the attraction to themselves.

One thing I do not like about some gay people is the campiness and/or the promiscuity. Then again I don't like promiscuity full stop but I see it more in gays.

I do not care if they are gay and act normal (not camp and not effeminate). Unfortunately the only person who does not act camp or effeminate is Ian McKellen!

On Eastenders when they introduced Christian he was really rude/camp but they sorted him out later on in the series. So Christian's not too bad (although Syed is a loser) Still, I do not think affairs are right.

You probably think that most gay people act like this because for those that don't act like this, you wouldn't even realise they're gay and just pass them off as straight.
I should also point out that you're referring to TV characters: TV, especially in the USA or in the past, has been notoriously bad at portraying LGBT people as little more than stereotypes. If you're judging two fictional gay guys' personalities and using that to genuinely judge all gay people, or further on using Power Rangers to enhance your world view, then you really need to open your eyes a little. Do you actually know any LGBT people in real life?

I believe it's true that some stereotypes exist for a reason and despite all the numerous exceptions (including myself), I think it's true that the average gay man is more feminine than the average straight man. But are camp men, gay or straight, a problem at all? Is it a bad trait to have? Is it harming anyone? No.

I hope that when people correct the generalisation that all gay men act a certain way, it's because the stereotype doesn't often hold true, and not because campness is seen as a bad thing.

I never suggested that they should hide the fact that they are gay, I am just saying one can argue that homosexuality can be hidden by people not following up on those thoughts. It will still be there but limited to their minds.

Of course that is very unlikely to happen but that is basically how it goes in countries than ban it- the homosexuals have to keep thoughts to themselves or risk being punished

For example generally you can tell someone is gay by the way they talk. I don't understand how them loving their own sex makes them talk that way. Also sometimes by the way they walk. I don't understand how them being gay makes them act this way.

I think it's silly to draw generalisations - heaven knows they have enough discrimination to deal with as it is! I can't stand it when gay guys are obnoxious and try to "out-girl" me by making a silly attempt to put me down in the "bitchy" way many girls do, though

I'm just saying he quit as he was harassed about his sexuality. I can't particularly see any campness in him. As for famous gay people, apart from Sir Ian Mckellen or the husband from Bewitched there are few that are not camp or few that are not promiscuos- I consider cheating on your wife as promiscuity. Sheldon from Big Bang theory,Freddie Mercury,Christopher Biggins,David Hyde Pierce- you can tell they're gay.

I've noticed this with some gay friends I have(mainly male). One guy I've known for years recently came out as gay and really changed,he flounced around,his voice became higher and he acted really camp(these are not necessarily indicative of someone who is gay but after questioning him on the sudden change he said these things made him feel more natural as he is).
Rather anecdotal reply , apologies.

By which you mean to say... "I don't actually know any gay people in real life"

Why don't you go **** yourself? ********
