Why Are Faggots So Afraid Of Faggots? by Matthew Bernstein Sycamore

A bracing collection of essays that confronts internalized homophobia and the ways queer people police one another, interrogating masculinity, respectability politics, and the drive toward assimilation; with sharp wit and radical urgency it critiques how shame, consumer culture, and the desire for acceptance shape sexual and social behavior, arguing for erotic and political authenticity and urging resistance to conformist norms in favor of a more liberated, inclusive, and rebellious queer politics.
