However, the lack of a coming out scene, or a getting found out scene, and the fact that Marty is genuinely hurt by his wife's infidelity, might possibly suggest that Marty is just a really effeminate straight man with a low sex drive.

The Campaign / int_e5421161	comment	Expy: Cam Brady shares several traits with former US Senator John Edwards (Democrat from North Carolina known for expensive haircuts and brought down after cheating on his wife) and former U.S. president George W. Bush, while the Motch brothers are the Koch brothers (secretive billionaire CorruptCorporateExecutives known for throwing millions of dollars around to support candidates and groups that will help them in their fight against environmental and labor laws and taxes). He's also similar in many ways to Ricky Bobby in Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (also played by Will Ferrell) - both are arrogant Eagleland stereotypes in extremely shallow marriages.
