And btw Wizard, I am certain that at least a couple of 'all your straight friends' are not as straight as they profess to be. There are certain scenarios, alas, which ensure that non-straight feelings of sexuality are totally repressed. These situations are usually down to peer pressure and the feeling that one cannot express the full extent of your sexuality in the company of your friends. It is actually a very dangerous situation both in terms of damage done to the self in repressing the sexuality; and potentially to others in that the over-compensation to prove oneself 'straight' in a mob situation can lead to verbal and sometimes physical assaults on anyone perceived by the gang mentality to be 'a bit queer'. In fact the most common symptom of repressed homosexuality is a fixation on the subject and frequent accusations/ epithets referring to the sexuality of other people.
Anyway, here's the DID text:
Kirsty Young asks the comedian outright: "Have you ever had a relationship with a man?" Walliams responds: "No."
Young presses: "Do you think you will?" With unhesitating candour, Walliams says: "If I fell in love with a man then, yeah, I wouldn't say that could never happen. I think about it; because I am effeminate I've always thought about it, 'Am I gay?'
"And then, I so love being with women, and I so love women's bodies and all that. I think, well no, I can't be. But sometimes I think it would just be simpler if I was, because everyone thinks I am. I'm quite camp, but no, I don't think I am. If I was gay, I would just get on with it. But definitely I love women, I love being around women, I find them incredible and intoxicating, and I've never had that feeling I get with women with a man."
The Bafta award-winning star believes the press is obsessed with his sexuality partly because camp and homosexual characters feature prominently in Little Britain - its co-creator, Matt Lucas, is gay.”
^^^This is the post with the interview I mentioned.
I think he should have the last word on the subject and he seems to have summed it all up very well. The effeminate part is still a bit of a puzzle, but everything else slots into place for me.
Btw,relating to the above, Gok Wan seems to like women's bodies, and I may be wrong but I believe he is gay?
I think he is gay , and i think this camp act is NOT an act , it's his real self. Nobody can act that way non stop and not be gay.
