I'm so swamped with Queerday stuff lately. agh, my goodness there's so much gay news out there. good though, right? we're certainly not being ignored.
Here's an intriguing article talking about gay sexuality in terms of our defiance of national mores. We used to be promiscuous, openly sexual, defined by who we had sex with. Are we changing to fit the mode of the country, trying to get married, trying to be monogamous? there's a large part of me that has struggled with this issue for years, what matters when it comes to sex, how to look at promiscuity. I refuse to simply take on traditional roles, and yet, i haven't found a good rule to live by.
But i never thought of gay men leading a sexual revolution, showing the country that we could be openly sexual, that we could define ourselves that way, and flaunt it. it's rather amazing if you look at it that way. Are we trying to fit in, or trying to blow the roof off the sucker? i think lately, we are trying to fit in too much.
