You might well think that, but I couldn't possibly comment.

2. I was simply fascinated with the secret ""gay"" language. Is this real? Where can I learn more about it?
Yes. Polari is real. There's info on it here:

http://www.worldwidewords.org/articles/polari.htm You used to quite regularly hear it being snuck into British comedy programmes on radio and occasionally television.
The bit of the story where Polari gives away a gay meeting place in the days when bottomy was still illegal actually happened. I think I got that from a documentary about Kenneth Williams' life and that it was a London club called 'The Nut House'.
