I couldn't disagree more. Just because one's a gay, one does not have to dress like a flamboyant flaming queen.
You should dress however you want why do people think being masc deep voice and wear flannel is gonna make you any diff from the flamboyant one. You both suck dick and take dicks in your ass at the end of the day who cares.
He's an old Italian man. I'm not surprised, even if he is gay. Just look at Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. Two gay men outwardly bashing gender and role progression in society. They are simply out of the loop and do not care to open their minds to Western European and South-Asian cultural changes. Italy, as a whole, can be stereotyped into this mindset, as the definition of a traditional family still exists in strength in most parts. It's not stylish to dress flamboyant there, and, really, it's not stylish to dress flamboyant anywhere.
