> [@Knowed\_Out](#): > > I have noticed that there’s hardly any flamboyant homosexuals like \*\*Esprix \*\*on the SDMB these days. Passionate and vocal gay posters still frequent this place, but they don’t toss their e-text feather boas like the old stage queens used to do. **Sampiro** ’s a good example. He orates, gesticulates and pontificates, but he doesn’t do show tunes and arias. If it makes you feel better, I’m singing an aria as I post this. (O Souverain from Le Cid if it matters) ---
