Can we find something that looks more gay and less transsexual? A gay guy does not go around in full make-up.

Agreed. I don't like this picture for the page at all. I think it should be pulled and we should be looking for a new picture.

This picture always scared me. Let's look for a picture that doesn't present homosexuality so negatively.

[up][up]Like crossdressing (well crossmakeuping) is something bad.tongue

Another vote for pull. It doesn't fit the trope.

Keep Until Better Image Suggested. It's not great, but it still illustrates the trope and is better than nothing. Let's see some alternatives here please.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

Big Gay Al? Many more possible suggestions, but I'll only suggest this for now.

It confuses me. Looks like a crossdresser. I'd say pull.

@Spark: The problem is that this image confuses Camp Gay with transsexuality and crossdressing, neither of them have any bearing on this trope. Basically, while the guy's behavior is a good example, the picture doesn't show it well.

That's five pulls including mine. Is that enough? For a replacement 8 looks good and there's plenty of Bruno to chose from. [1] [2] [3] [4]

Ugh, the current image is pure Nightmare Fuel.

I like Big Gay Al.

Can we just pull it already, then insert a better one later?

@Ret, the problem I have with that is kindy squicky and I wouldn't exactly be fore using something squicky outside of a trope that already squicky in and of it self.

Also, it's just kind of ugly and boring.

Also, yeah, pull it.

Here's some options other than Big Gay Al: Bruno, Patrick Stewart from Jeffrey, and Lafayette from True Blood: 1, 2

I already gave suggestions of Bruno and that is Sacha Baron Cohen. The Patrick Stewart image works, but the first Lafayette has the body of a woman. The second one doesn't look too out of the ordinary.

I honestly think that 11.1 is the best suggestion so far.

I like Patrick Stewart's character (the one in pink beret). One of BrĂ¼no's pics might work, though it's too exaggerated if you ask me.

To me, all of the 11 look pretty ugly and exaggerated. Lafayette doesn't look gay to me at all.

I would go fo Patrick Stewart.

I thought the point of this trope was for them to BE ugly and exaggerated.
