300 - A moment of levity.
There were some arguments out there that 300 was homophobic. Key to that argument was the idea that Xerxes' dress and incredible jewelry was somehow suggesting a certain bent to his sexual tastes.
I don't think so, his dress and manners show that he's vain and narcissistic (required traits to believe himself a god).
This video clip may suggest that instead of homophobic, the film is... um... is “homo-fantastic” a word?
Either way, it's funny.

“Fabulous” is the word you seek. Xerxes was indeed “Fabulous”
