It's an existential crisis facing queer men: how did we go from fighting for liberation to policing each other's lives? Faggotocracy: How Gay Community Got Lost uses original research to explore the deep conflict between assimilationism and radicalism, tracing how the pursuit of suburban respectability and the sanitization of queer sexuality have changed our relationship with identity labels. From the boardroom to the bedroom, discover how the new queer power structures have led to a culture of judgment, exclusion, and infighting. Why do we condemn those who don't conform to the "acceptable" image of gay life? How did sex—once a cornerstone of queer liberation—become a source of division? And what happens when the fight for equality leaves behind the most marginalized among us? With unflinching honesty and a sharp analytical lens, Faggotocracy challenges readers to confront the uncomfortable truths about where the gay community stands today—and where it's headed.
