I could have put this in the Whinging Fuckwits section but it may have seemed a little insensitive.

The question that I have is why do some gay men (and probably some women, even though I've yet to meet one) hate their sexuality?

I must admit that I've come across numerous gay men on this site (quite a nest of them in fact), on some others over the years and met a couple face to face - each one with some kind of self-instilled homophobia.

They profess to hate the scene and everything that goes with it.

Pride doesn't represent them and they choose to disassociate themselves from anything that's openly gay.

Also what is it about disliking 'camp' guys?

People talk about homophobia and yet perhaps it's time that as a gay community (because there is one - or at least I hope there is) we started to challenge the damaging behaviour that many gay men do to themselves, one another and to our community.

Maybe it reminds them of how complicated a gay life can be?

Sorry if this seems elementary (but I genuinely don't understand) - How does that mean they hate their sexuality?
