Things I Regret Saying This Weekend
Thank you for the offer, but no.
I'm addicted to you. But I know that you're Tostvig.
So: what's the story with that shirt?
Not naked yet, then?
If you're going to dance like that. you'll need tassles.
And there's me thinking you were stictly a Duckie man.
I'm marking your card: 'prefers snogging to dancing'
Go on then. Twist my arm.

Some gay people are camp but that is one strand of many. The reason I think people get frustrated is that that is the only strand that is represented. Of course there are gay men who are style gurus, but there are also gay men who dress like Alan Bennett.

The ancient Games - which were ultimately banned for being too pagan - were probably intended as homo-erotic events, from which all women (apart from virgins ) were banned.
.........flashforward......
I was enjoying the synchronised diving before I came out.
Yeah! Wow! Bloody annoying the way the electronic scoreboard panel covers the crotch shots when they climb out of the pool though...
Monday 16th August 2004
Most papers covered the bizarre interloper at the synchronised diving, though few of them went into much detail as to why he did it.
The Independent's sports pages described him as "dressed in a tutu and with 'Greece's No 1 diver' written on his chest" - somewhat unfortunate, given that the news pages carried a photo on which the words were clearly legible: 'Goldenpalace.com' might just be Greek for 'Greece's No 1 diver' - but I kinda doubt it. (Don't bother going there - it's an on-line casino.)
Earlier editions of the same paper carried a PA piece that claimed he did it 'to impress his wife'. Impress her with his sponsorship potential, I guess.
