My avatar is on its' side because I am not 'straight'. Get the joke? I will have my avatar any which way I choose.

I'm not queeny (at least I don't think I am =/) but in my opinion some guys just like to play with the stereotype and have some fun with it.
A good friend of mine is as flamey as I've ever seen and I can't say that it's looked on negatively by other gay men. It suits him (I can't imagine him any other way) and I for one say all the power to him if that's what makes him happy :).
Just my 0.02$ :),
Cheers,
P.S. the non-straight avatar idea's pretty cool

I think it is a bit of both. 'Queens' are often about display and surface stuff. They march around with all the bravado and confidence of a desperate 'man'. I do know some people who are 'camp' by nature and I venture to add I separate them from the 'queen' label. If you go further and ask why do they feel the need to be noticed and in such a way that is bound to attract homophobic comments and actions. The answer is not (honestly) because they feel the need to be who they want to be. It is more a case of being so desperate for attention they don't care whether it is positive or negative attention they get, they need that attention. To me that is a definite sign of wearing abuse like a banner!

I'm not sure I understand this question. Why can't both be true?
Some gay men wear their "sissy" status proudly, and (completely unrelatedly) some people use the term "sissy" as a term of abuse.
It's like asking, "Is an apple a fruit, or do some people like apples?"

You seriously need to take 10 seconds out of your busy schedule and turn your avatar on it's side.

They just are as they are. Just like I'm slowly losing my hair. It's neither achievement or target. I just exist as I am, rather than insisting I must live up to someone else's standards of hair.
And the more effeminate men need not live up to someone else's standard of masculinity.
