There's a lot of gays in this thread, but there's also, what, 15 million people out there watching X Factor and only a small percentage of them are gay. Diva Fever are just reinforcing many people's stereotypes of what gay men are like - feminine, giggly, girly, camp. Yes of course there are gay men out there like that, but they're not on telly in front of 15 million people reinforcing that image.
For all of us here who know the diversity of gay people, there are a lot more watching X Factor thinking "See, I knew that's what all poofs are like." Because you don't see average-man-in-the-street gays on telly. And milions of viewers won't have a nice diverse selection of gay people in their everyday lives to balance it out.
Diva Fever might be camp, that's who they are, but they can't have much self respect to let themselves be taken the piss out of as Friedman/Cowell and whoever have done.

If they survive to next week, what Boney M song will they sing?
They've gotta stay till at least the finals so they can do "Mary's Boy Child" as a Christmas performance.

People are who the are. They may be cringy to some of us but they're under no responsibility to represent gays as a whole or beat any stereotypes. Joe wasn't like that, neither was Will Young or Danyl Johnson and people who are under the impression that all gays are raving Boney M fans were probably under that impression before Diva Fever.
It would be wonderfully subversive if they won but I guess that would involve viewers not believing Simon Cowell when he says they are good...

I really like them....but i'm one of those secure gays. I'm not the kind of person to start a protest everytime a gay comes on TV that doesn't represent me. We come in all different shapes and sizes. There's loads of bad representations of women on TV aswell ya know...it ain't just gays. Kim Kardashian was born rich and never had to work then opened her legs and got even more rich...Cheryl can't sing and has a record deal etc...I could go on.
I couldn't care less about their sexuality, they are just plain crap. You could barely hear them sing a note last night and I don't even get what's funny about them.
I watched the performances via youtube last night and so many of them are note-perfect-but-boring (TreyC, John) or take themselves very seriously (Storm). Diva Fever are having a laugh and put a smile on my face.
Isn't the title of this thread a complete oxymoron?
At least they went out with dignity and getting in a proper dig at Simon.
The song choice was heinous and watching them you would have thought they were completely into it when obviously they hated it as much as the general public did.

Help, stuck on the bus and still looking it up, what did Diva Fever sing for their life?
