Like Bortus (and his mate), from The Orville, who is neither flamboyant nor sassy.

I’m not really bothered by men who are gay, per se, but I really am not fond of men in general who are effeminate, especially flamboyantly so. It weirds me out.

You should work on that prejudice. I have no problem at all with depictions of flamboyant males. But in my experience straight men are as likely to be fabulousa as gay men and there are lots more straight men. That in this day and age having this old chestnut being Star Treks first gay characters in an F-bomb episode is really a step backwards rather boldly going forwards. Galactica did this so much better. The reboot I mean. In the original show Lucifer and gold Cylon were beyond disco.
