notes on
camp

AS HE
PICKS RAFFI
UP
FROM
DAY
CAMP,
CARLOS APPEARS TO HAVE WALKED INTO A LINGUISTIC DEBATE.
¡HOLA, RAFAEL! ARE YOU READY TO GO?
ASK MY UNCLE CARLOS. HE'S GAY, SO HE KNOWS.
BILLY SAID MY BOAT WAS GAY, AND I SAID BOATS CAN'T BE GAY, RIGHT
UH...
WELL, THAT DEPENDS. DID YOU MEAN HIS BOAT WAS SLEEK AND BEAUTIFUL, BILLY
HAH! NO! IT'S LAME AND
STUPID!
OKAY, THERE'S YOUR PROBLEM. LAME, STUPID THINGS AREN'T GAY. ONLY COOL, EXCELLENT THINGS ARE GAY.
I THOUGHT JUST
WORK WITH ME, RAF.
IS HIS SHIRT GAY?
PEOPLE COULD BE GAY, NOT THINGS.
2001 by Alison Bechdel
HMM. NO, I'M SORRY TO SAY, RAFFI'S SHIRT IS EXTREMELY UN-GAY.
THAT'S AN EXCELLENT QUESTION, BILLY. BECAUSE IT IS GAY
15 YOURS?
ON ME. BUT ON YOUR COUN-
CAN YOU TELL ME WHY?
BECAUSE HE'S LAME AND
SELOR OVER THERE, IT'S NOT. STUPID?
WELL, PERHAPS, BUT I WAS THINKING,
NOT ONLY DO I FILL MINE OUT IN A MORE AESTHETICALLY PLEASING WAY, I ALSO WEAR IT WITH AN IRONIC AND TRANSFORMATIVE NOD TO ITS HISTORY AS A SYMBOL OF MALE HETEROSEXUAL LOUTISHNESS.WHEREAS FOR YOUR COUNSELOR, IT WAS PROBABLY THEONLY CLEAN THING LEFT IN HIS DRAWER.
MY BOAT'S
STILL GONNA WIN TOMORROW, BUTTFACE.
WITH THAT HETEROSEXUAL HUNK OF ・JUNK?I DON'T THINK SO, STINKBUTT!
LATER...
YOU WANT WHAT KIND OF A SHIRT?
A WIFEBEATER.
LIKE CARLOS HAS.
UM, TONI? I THINK WE NEED TO HAVE A LITTLE TALK WITH...
IT'S REALLY
GAY.
I'M ALL OVER IT.
