Great analysis, thanks for the read. I'd be curious to see your take on the other kind of camp: that created by the normies to tell normie stories designed to reinforce heteronormative, patriarchal and cis-het tropes and values but fail unintentionally and instead create camp. I'm thinking Valley of the Dolls, Mommie Dearest & (aguably) Showgirls off the top of my head. There seems to be a tendency to conflate movies with queer sensibilities with movies that are camp, and I know there is significant overlap, but it seems lazy at times. You don't do that here, of course, but it bugs me. Great story!
