Oh and another one
Professional homosexuals.

People who, if it weren't for the fact that they are gay, wouldn't know what to talk about, what music to listen to, what films to like, or have any personality.

Don't get me wrong - I'm not gayophobic. I just get bloody annoyed by the above, as they seem to think that acting in some bizarre hybrid of 1970s Carry On crossed with a poor impression of Larry Grayson makes them reeeeelly funny and lovely and interesting.

The people who think because they're gay it gives them the right to be bitchy, loud, annoying and sexist, because they're gay.

Grrrrr.

Oh famous ones? I dunno - I'd say Graham Norton is pretty close. Alan Carr a little bit too, though not as much. I suppose I'm more on about the gays I know than anything else - which probably says more about me than anything else.

You do sound a BIT gayophobic
But this is B3ta, and as long as you can back up your arguments with logic and/or humour you can get away with it. So well done for that :-)

Not at all. If anything I'm campophobic - I'll accept that.
There's really no need for campness. It's childish and annoying.

There have been some marvelous camp acts.
Kenneth Williams for one, and Kenny Everett for another dozen.
It's the inferior copies - camp followers if you like - who lack the genuine funnies that are so irksome.

Bloody hell no. Nails down a SODDING blackboard stuff, that is.

I like puns, I like innuendo, but the arch overstatement of Ooooooh Matron! Bloody hell that's annoying.

"Campophobic"
That's brilliant. We need to get that established in the cultural lexicon, and to encourage it as healthy practice for adults in favour of better telly and less irritation generally

Although I would face accusations of campaigning against myself.

Campophobic - marvellous. A new designator for those of us who find this over the top stereotypical flamboyance annoying but couldn't care less what the perpetrator does with their junk.

We'll need another term to cover the opposite extreme now. Yobbish, blokey cunts like Chris Moyles

Yes indeed.
We've a load of them in our office. They go on about "out alpha-ing" each other, and The Game and "gaming".

"Mate I was totally gaming her but I totally managed to shag her sister!"

"Mate!"

"Mate."

There's not many quicker ways to make me angry than to try and engage me in some sort of Macho pissing contest.

Loutophobic?
One for all the misogynistic, stupid cunts who don't understand the distinction between humour and insults, often found on lesser message boards on teh internets. May be identified by their practice of adding a LOL after a particularly unpleasant and cruel statement to show they're trying to be funny. (In much the same vein as making an offensive remark and adding "no offence" as a postscript)
If we do start to use Campophobic, we'll have to be careful not to alienate the bell-ringing community.

homosexuality is a lifestyle choice against God.

Homosexuality isn't
But wearing it like it's in some way interesting when it's actually not, is.

Camp's catching too
Used to work on a hospital ward where all the staff talked camp the whole time - dunno why, as there were only a couple of gayers.

Found myself coming home, fluttering my hands, rolling my eyes and declaring that I'd had a MARE of a day!

Moved to Geriatrics instead, where everyone smells of wee. And the patients.

I know several gay people
(in fact, MOST of my circle of friends at school turned out to be gay), and most of them are just exactly the same as they always were, and are damned decent blokes.

There are a couple, however, who have turned into militant anti-straights (suicide bummers is now stuck in my head), who are constantly demanding to be treated "normally" in between marching back and forth between Abba the musical and Danny LaRue conventions.

I've always had an "each to their own" view of life and wherever people want to stick their dangly bits is fine, if you ask me, but being made to feel like I'm oppressing someone's human rights just because I don't share their sexuality does grate my patience a little.

Oh. And the "All men are gay they just hide it" lot. Those are the worst.

It was the 'All men are potential rapists' hysteria when Larry was a lad.
Some mentality - different chant.

Another person's orientation isn't of interest - unless you're interested in that person.
