The modern conception of the ‘gay male,’ his form and habit, has not been such a curiosity among human complexes for centuries in the making, but invented, a trait inborn that’s now stratified into groupings numbering in the hundreds. Whereas there were substantially less official routes towards the contemporary goalposts in, say, marriage, mobility in labor and social life, sexual identity did not override larger facets of man’s ego. Could it be possible that in spite of these freedoms and leaps in progress, the modern gay has been made susceptible to generalizations? But from gay to gay, I humbly ask you look beyond ‘the apps’ to counter the beasts of tyranny. Francis X.
