For one of my friends, it was like they were acting all the time as a straight person. When they came out they wanted to express their new self.

One of my friends stayed in the closet for years, even when all his friends knew he was gay, and we kept telling him we didn’t care. When he came out of the closet, he was over the top flamboyant. After a couple more years, he really toned back on most of the mannerisms. It was like he tried on the flamboyancy and then decided he just liked men, not the act.

From my observation of my gay friends who are more flamboyant, it was a reaction to coming out of the closet and letting their friends and family know they are gay. They had seen others who were gay behave a certain way, and they embraced that life.

You are the fascist problem of communism.
