"The "flaming queen,” a characterisation that melds flamboyance and effeminacy, remains a gay male stock character in Hollywood."
"In addition to being called effeminate, gay men are also identified with a gay lisp and/or a female like tone."
"Fashion, effeminacy, and homosexuality have long been associated. Stereotypes are often based on the visibility of a reciprocal relationship between gay men and fashion."
"Gay men who are visible in popular culture may purchase fashion as a means of expression, and gay men have high visibility within the fashion industry."
"The limp wrist is also a mannerism associated with gay men."
"Theatre, specifically Broadway musicals, are a component to another stereotype, the "show queen.” The stereotype generalizes that all gay men listen to show tunes and are involved with the performing arts, are theatrical, dramatic, and are campy."
