Well I'm of the opinion that most of it is joking. The people that probably are gay aren't doing the horseplay. A fair bit of what I've seen reminds more of the interaction between my brother and I, when we found something that annoyed the other we of course had to do that more to provoke a reaction. I see no difference with military gay immitations, the more vivid or disgusted the reaction the more likely that person will be hit on by the 'fake gays.' Being a quiet type I was initially the target of said annoying fake gays and the best way to stop being hassled by them is do that right back, then it seems to have lost it's fun because I wasn't giving the paniced disgusted reaction anymore.
Yeah, there's probably a few closet gays doing the fake gay acting but I still think most military guys are doing that as just horseplay/bordem.
