I may be wrong, but wasn't Skippy's gag that he was very camp - but also extremely offended by people insinuating he was gay?


* AmbiguouslyGay: Skippy "Skippages" D. Lion is an ''extremely'' {{camp}} lion with some distinctly feminine interests and mannerisms... but he gets ''[[BerserkButton extremely offended]]'' if anyone brings up the idea that he's gay. This leaves the fanbase torn between the idea of whether he's the CampGay equivalent to an ArmoredClosetGay, or if he's a CampStraight who [[RealMenWearPink is proud of his more feminine interests]] and takes offense that liking what he likes has to mean he's gay. WordOfGod [[http://www.pawpet.org/skippy_d._lion seems to lean towards the latter interpretation]].
