Critics of Camp Not Clear on the Concept
"Yet another reason why gay people will NEVER be taken seriously."
This is like saying the nice normal people who participate in Carnival will NEVER be taken seriously, just because they're dressed in crazy, sexualized costumes, that clowns ruin everything for everyone.
How can you hold a whole people hostage to YOUR impression of what some clownish celebrants make of themselves on their cultural holiday?

Why be so freaked out over crazy costumes... like the Rapture-panic crowd that wants to cancel Halloween because it's demonic?
It's a parade.
Relax.
Have fun.
