Prejudice
"Are you prejudiced?" asks StapMyVitals. Have you been a victim of prejudice? Are you a columnist for a popular daily newspaper? Don't bang on about how you never judge people on first impressions - no-one will believe you.

Well said
Okay, you're here; you're queer; we've not only gotten used to it, we don;t give a shit.
Here in the U.S., we seem to have developed a surplus of gay men in the media who need to act over the top and be put to work commenting on celebrities, fashion, celebrity fashion, awards shows....
The current reigning "queen" is Perez Hilton, who like most of the others thinks he is high camp but is at best low crap. There's a difference between camping it up with wit and being an attention whore worshipping at the idol of celebrity and feeling you're entitled to make money at it because you're gay. The only differences between Perez and the gossipy cashier at the grocer's is that he writes a blog and uses shocking hair colors like pink. Otherwise, they are both slovenly overweight, horrible dressers, of limited intelligence, ugly, loud-mouthed and uninteresting to the people they gossip about and try to "dis."
Noel Coward and Truman Capote could be camp, but they had wit. And their writing will last. People will want to read it years from now, whereas Perez's voyueristic attempts will dissipate as quickly as the interest in the "celebrities" he tries to befriend.
