Keywords: camp; gay culture; new creative class; LGBTQ press; pop

Summary/Abstract: The text analyses how the relation of contemporary Polish gay culture to camp is changing, and how these changes are related to new phenomena in pop culture. Furthermore, the author discusses whether similar (camp) taste and similar (camp) lifestyle allow us to understand queer community as the “new creative class” according to Richard Florida. Among the phenomena discussed are “gay diva worship”, “guilty pleasures”, “hoot” and “hipster”. The material analysed comes from the Polish LGBTQ press.
