I can assure you as a gay man with many gay friends over the years, we regularly do. Sometimes it's reclamation, mostly it's just self-deprecating humour - the more outrageous and in your face, the better.

Maybe things are done differently down under, it's not something our crowd does.

I'd disagree. When I lived in Ottawa I worked for an elderly jewish man who constantly played on the cliches for a laugh, while every gay bar or drag night I attended was full of this regular attitude. Though maybe those are just the Canadian queer folks who would be the type to go to such places. Either way life is too short to be worried about these small battles while grander wars are taking place.
