Campest Moment

[fatima]

Since English is not my mother language what I did was seeing the meaning of CAMP here it goes: 1) like a woman, esp deliberatly; EFFEMINATE: a camp voice/walk/gesture 2) HOMOSEXUAL by behaving in a camp way.

Then, I looked at some posts here and....let me tell you, what a vivid imagination you have! What Indy has is beyond his courage ways is a thing called SENSIBILITY, that is missunderstood a great deal for you guys, that's a wrong point of view from you.
A man can be courageous without have the need to be a macho, those types are more suspicious to be gay than a man that shows all his sensibility and expresses it without fear.

Anyways I found very amusing the collage made by Indyologist!

I always thought the "top men" guys were a little "campy"

Just watched TOD today and when Indy releases Willie from the steel cage thingy he does the CAMPEST walk ever to the stones. It's as if he's walking on his tip toes.

So what are your campest moments in the trilogy?

I've always thought Harrison was trying to make his tummy look smaller.

I don't think he'd do that. He's an archeologist, been to almost every place in the world. I'd say he's really open minded to everything, even homosexuallity.

I don't really see any "campy" moments for him in the movies though. Well, maybe when he's wearing his bathrobe.

BTW, did you guys know that you can find Indy/ Henry Slash stories out there on the internet? Have to admit that I read it though. Don't think I'll ever do it again.

The SS-Standartenführer also dry-humps Jones Jr on top of his tank.

Gay Nazis? What? From Wikipedia:

The Gestapo compiled lists of homosexuals, and they were compelled to sexually conform to the German norm.

Between 1933-45, an estimated 100,000 men were arrested as homosexuals, and of these, some 50,000 officially were sentenced. Most of these men spent time in regular prisons, and an estimated 5,000 to 15,000 of the total sentenced were incarcerated in concentration camps.

The leading scholar Ruediger Lautman however believes that the death rate in concentration camps of imprisoned homosexuals may have been as high as 60%. Homosexuals in camps were treated in an unusually cruel manner by their captors, and were also persecuted by their fellow inmates.

I won't discount the idea that perhaps some of the Nazis in the trilogy were hypocrits in regards to their sexuality (God knows they were hypocrits when it came other things...some people even say Hitler was part Jewish - more on this here), but I'd say it would be unlikely that any of the Nazis were homosexuals. And if they were, they would be hiding deep in the closet.

Not really. Powder blue is not that feminine. And a lot of people wear make-up, such as actors. He was vane, but not necessarily gay.
Besides, after all, he was over the overseer of the concentration and extermination camps, which, as you read above, did contain homosexuals.
Why would he kill other gays if he was gay? To eliminate the competition?
And he was married, you know.
I think he was most likely straight.

How could they habe been hypocrites in regards to their sexuality when they never commented or judged anybody else's sexuality in the films?

They were never openly heterosexual either.

He also had a daughter.
