According to Todd, this type of camp female character has mostly disappeared from our cultural landscape.

Is this really the case? There are plenty of self-styled 'fag hags' who have a pretty outrageous, flamboyant campiness that stands up well to that of the gay men they be-friend. Think of Margaret Cho (the best example), Madonna (Rupert Everett being merely the most recent of her gay pals), or all those charming straight old school gals who are still around and kicking, the Bette Midlers, Chers, and so on.

And you mention Liza's character in Cabaret, but she herself has always been married to/associated with gay or gay-perceived men like Peter Allen and that David chap.
