I think the funniest gay man ever was Paul Lynn, famous for being on the Hollywood Squares. His mannerisms and zingers were hilarious:
Peter Marshall: In the “Wizard of Oz,” the lion wanted courage and the tin man wanted a heart. What did the scarecrow want?
Paul Lynde: He wanted the tin man to notice him.
Peter Marshall: What do you call a man who gives you diamonds and pearls?
Paul Lynde: I’d call him “darling”!
Peter Marshall: Paul, can anything bring tears to a chimp’s eyes?
Paul Lynde: Finding out that Tarzan swings both ways!
Peter Marshall: According to legend, who looks better, a pixie or a fairy?
Paul Lynde (in deeper voice): Well, looks aren’t everything! (laughter and applause) Well, I guess I would say…I would have to go with the fairy. (more laughter)
Now compare gay men to lesbians? The gay lisp and mannerisms (Paul Lynn) are funny. When lesbians try and talk and act like men? Boring!
Men dressed in drag - oh man a riot! Women dressed in men’s clothes - doesnt even make sense. And the wilder the drag queen the better. Now people will say Ellen Degeneres but to me, her lesbo humor falls flat. She does though have a good personality and seems a good talk show host.
