But if you assert that male homosexuality is a cultural practice, expressive of a unique subjectivity and a distinctive relation to mainstream society, people will immediately protest. Such an idea, they will say, is just a stereotype-ridiculously simplistic, politically irresponsible, and morally suspect. The world acknowledges gay male culture as a fact but denies it as a truth. David Halperin, a pioneer of LGBTQ studies, dares to suggest that gayness is a specific way of being that gay men must learn from one another in order to become who they are. Inspired by the notorious undergraduate course of the same title that Halperin taught at the University of Michigan, provoking cries of outrage from both the right-wing media and the gay press, How To Be Gay traces gay men's cultural difference to the social meaning of style. Far from being deterred by stereotypes, Halperin concludes that the genius of gay culture resides in some of its most despised features: its aestheticism, snobbery, melodrama, adoration of glamour, caricatures of women, and obsession with mothers. The insights, impertinence, and unfazed critical intelligence displayed by gay culture, Halperin argues, have much to offer the heterosexual mainstream.Gay menGay peopleGay culturehomoithttps://homosaurus.org/v4/homoit0000487LGBTQ+ culturehomoithttps://homosaurus.org/v4/homoit0001831LGBTQ+ peoplehomoithttps://homosaurus.org/v4/homoit0000915Gay men.Gay people.Gay culture.LGBTQ+ culture.LGBTQ+ people306.76/62Halperin David M.1952-174544MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910957602103321How to be gay4366386UNINA01858nlm 2200313Ia 450 99665607250331620250506084556.019840604d1698---- uy |engUKdrcnu<<A>> journal of the embassy from their Majesties John and Peter Alexievitz, emperors of Muscovy &c. over land into China through the provinces of Ustiugha, Siberia, Dauri, and the great Tartary to Peking the capital city of the Chinese empire by Everard Isbrand, their ambassador in the years 1693, 1694, and 1695written by Adam Brand, secretary of the embassytranslated from the original High-Dutch printed in Hamburgh, 1698to which is added Curious observations concerning the products of Russia by H.W.
