And some people who are not gay too, who may be mistaken for being what they are not. You gave me a lot to work with!!

Mil gracias, Grego. And how would you translate it to English? Just "be effeminate" or "be affected"? Searches have led me to a word I didn't know before: " camp". Would this be appropriate, and if so, could you give me a couple of examples of how to use it? Possibilities in AmE: to be a swisher, to be limp-wristed, to be a drag queen.

These all have their own nuance, so context would dictate whether one of them was appropriate. Camp is not usually used in the context of people. A show, play, etc. And it doesn't necessarily mean acting flamboyantly gay. Camp is most definitely used in the UK in respect of people. Anyone acting effiminately is considered 'camp' He's camp. He's camp as christmas etc. Inib, you must have been away along time if you've never heard camp.
