This surprising and thought-provoking book begins with the obvious fact that Stonewall happened 30 years ago, and the perhaps less obvious fact that in the 30 years since an enormous number of social science studies have been done on gay men.

For instance, countless studies...

In 2017, Emerson Whitney was divorcing the woman they'd been with for ten years-a dominatrix they called Daddy. Living in a tent in the backyard of their marital home, Emerson was startled to realize they didn't know what it meant to be an adult. "We often look to our gender roles as a sort of map for aging," they write. "I wanted to know what the process looked like without that: not man-ness, not-woman-ness." Dizzied by this realization, they turned...

Why should Americans who are not gay care about gay rights?

«No sabría deciros muy bien de qué va mi libro porque trata de muchas cosas. En él analizo de qué manera los discursos de señores como Freud nos siguen afectando; también es un trabajo de recuperación de una historia necesaria para muchas, de defensa de la bisexualidad como herramienta de desestabilización y como identidad política. Y, por supuesto, este libro va de feminismo y de teoría queer, de mantener luchas hermanas y de generar alianzas...
