Abstract

Media gays: A new stone wall
Warner, Michael | July 14, 1997 issue

add to cart   close window

The author says that the American gay politics is a minor offshoot of neo-conservatism. The book "Virtually Normal" argues that gay politics is reduced to only two issues, namely military service and marriage. Everything else is mere private difference. Gabriel Rotello's book "Sexual Ecology," argues that gay men brought AIDS on themselves, that safer sex has failed and that the solution is monogamy. Intoning the mantra of "deep ecology," Rotello urges to abandon mere "technical fixes" to the problem of the epidemic, like what he calls the "condom code." He wants a more "holistic" approach to AIDS.
