You’re Not Alone In Thinking Movies Make All Gays Look Like Campy Whores

On film, gays are still sluts, older women never have sex, and blacks are all drug dealers. That’s the result of a survey of some 4,315 English adults, two out of three who say movies depict gays with their sexual orientation as their main trait, while three in five respondents say gay characters are shown as “campy.” (That ratio rockets up to four in five when the respondents are gay, lesbian, or bi themselves.) Wait. I thought our big problem with Hollywood is that gay characters are always seen as non-sexualized, always portraying some straight girl’s fabulous BFF?
