"Why do all the camp guys speak with the same adanoidal voice?"

The adenoidal, high-pitched, nasal voice is a stereotype often associated with camp gay characters, often used for comedic effect. It's rooted in cultural and historical context, particularly in British comedy. Examples include Kenneth Williams in "Round the Horne" and John Inman as Mr. Humphries in "Are You Being Served?". Dick Emery's impersonations also featured this vocal style. These comedians used their voices and mannerisms to create memorable characters, often playing on stereotypes, it appears that certain guys continue to emulate this stereotypical style of speech to convey their own colourful persona.

Can't stand the bizarre attempt at sounding like a woman. The worst thing I've heard since 80s plastic pop.

Have you ever met a woman?

They don't sound camp.

“the queen of scotty road” is a classic example of someone going round asking to be punched square on the nose, and the voice definitely put on, can’t stand camp at all.

I think a lot of it is put on, especially the celebs, I'm femme leaning and would see myself as effeminate but not outrageously camp.

Its a sort of defence mechanism to entertain people hoping they wont get bashed. In my day gay people often hid in the closet or were open and hammed it up. Cant beat a good live show like the Trolettes.

Does Alan Carr put on a false voice ? How can someone talk like that all the time ?

Totally agree. I do tend to have an attraction to camp guys, but now keep in check as more often than not they can have a vindictive bitter tongue.

What makes me smile is alot of camp guys love drag but wouldn't want to be in the company of another effeminate guy.

I have a workmate who I wouldn't exactly call camp, he's around my age, well built, has a deep fruity George Melly type of voice and many Melly mannerisms (acerbic, sardonic, sarcastic, even quite aggressive sometimes) and he has a female partner, so you wouldn't imagine him to be camp or even gay, yet he has my gaydar flashing red and off the scale constantly. We banter quite fiercely, he'll find excuses for physical contact, do dumb shit like rearrange stuff on my desk as he's walking by.

I do find him quite camp but in a subtle way. Not like I play up to it (yeah right, of course I do!)
