However, ordinary doesn't make watchable television - things have to be over-the-top and in-your-face.

Sterotyping like this also has implications by reinforcing the idea you can spot a gay man at the drop of a pink hanky...makes them 'safe' as characters as because they are visible they pose no threat
In truth the gay neighbour just as likely to be the builder next door while the hairdresser on the other side has a different woman every week

It's a fact that the 'older generation' have always felt comfortable with camp men, finding them unthreatening in a sort of 'confidante' way.
Personally, i find the likes of Norton and Carr incredibly tedious - not because they are camp but because they are so exhausting in their efforts to wring a double entendre out of the most inocuous remark.
I like my TV and radio presenters to be professional at what they do - being camp doesn't cut it.

You don't have to embrace it...merely accept that for some it is a lifestyle choice...
I wouldn't want to see same sex couples on Strictly as it would just look silly and Julian Clary managed very well when he was on...looked quite charming and managed to dance with a woman without any problems...in the same way a lesbian celebrity should cope perfectly well dancing with a man...
