“Homophobia is the fear that other men will unmask , emasculate , reveal to and the world that we do not measure up. Yet a particular cema that emerged the late 1990s onward clus films which straight characters unexpectedly pretend to be I wonr my book Straight Sk, Gay Masks and Pretendg to Be Gay on Screen (2020), why would a straight man want to pretend he is gay? Why would a man who belongs to the privileged majory wish to impersonate a member of a mory whose very inty (“homo!

In other words, why would a man wish to play like a sissy, spe the vastatg hardships that many gay men regularly experience?

While machismo is monly perceived as a sort of mandatory masquera a heterosexist society, the pretendg-to-be-gay cema mostly featur protagonists who perceive sisss as an sential the straight md, and some masculist gay men’s mds too, the sissy is still synonymo wh fensels malens, negative characteristics, agile animals (e. “Lavenr boys, ” monly associated wh neatns, stylishns, ftivy, dulgence, atheticism, and obssive tert opera, classic mic, ballet, art, and sign, were at the ont of gay scen around the world for s, arguably for (1993) nsirs the “-between” type as one of the most known and prevalent patterns the reprentatn of homosexualy the twentieth century (this tenncy also exists, to a certa extent, the twenty-first-century popular culture).

The queen and the dyke both reprent homosexualy through what is assumed to be a genr rrelatn—that is, both are reprented as if their sexualy means that they are between the two genrs of female and male. Pretendg-to-be-gay films like The Gay Deceivers, The Rz, Victor Victoria, Happy, Texas, Macho, and Kickg Out Shoshana, and the “South Park Is Gay” the animated TV seri South Park typilly relate to mp subculture, stylishns, extravagance, and flamboyancy.

The mastream cematic articulatns of men pretendg to be gay tend to perpetuate a limed sle of rol of gay men, who are nventnally picted as miserable spegoats, mpy buffoons, sassy signers, and other kds of flamboyantly submissive servants of the straight majory. In their employment of tradnal stereotypg of gay men, the pretendg-to-be-gay films predomantly nnote gayns wh effemate behavr, permeable male body, and sexually pulsive behavr of the sassy protagonists.

Effemate, ftive gayns is flamboyantly performed by The Gay Deceivers (USA 1969), a low-budget sex edy that foc on two young men who pretend to be gay when they are required to jo the Army. When the two returng to their apartment to celebrate wh their girliends, they are surveilled by the spic army and Ellt move to an all-gay apartment plex, posed of ornate ttag rated lavenr, red and all shas of pk and plete wh huge rotund beds, mirrored ceilgs, and plaster Greek statu of naked male athlet.

The Army vtigators who shadow them are revealed as gay men themselv who prefer to keep straight people, like the gay ceivers, out of the the begng of this film, when the ceivers are terviewed by the officer at the recment office, Danny and Ellt’s pretend homosexualy is synonymo wh theatril effemacy. Danny is drsed elegant gray troers, black jacket, and a signifint feme srf, whereas Ellt’s gay outf clus tight whe troers and a red sweater. They both have stylish men’s haircuts and they speak a yly, childish tone that match their effemate, when they are terviewed by a psychiatrist, they exprs their flamboyant mps wh Osr Wil-que statements like “Am I homosexual?

Whereas the blond lifeguard Ellt, his tight red tnks that pliments his mcular and sparsely haired physique, am his female admirers by sassy gtur and effemate speakg, Danny is aaid that their effemate gay masquera will be mistakenly perceived as their thentic gay inty. His nfince pretendg to be gay riv, however, om his rilient and celebrated heteronormative masculy, handsomens, and sex appeal that attract his voted female, who is more sexually attractive than Danny, is ls aaid that his gay ceptn might stigmatize ame him as homosexual. His flamg behavr, alibied as thentic and manipulative, allows him to pe the burn of hetero-masculy, for a while, and eely disver the lure of effemacy whout been ridiculed, sanctned, persecuted or bashed by the straight world for his their g to terms wh their effemately gay masquera and s requirements and challeng is highly dynamic.

When they spect an apartment a gay neighborhood, for example, Danny fds suable for them, tellg the real tate agent that they do not need separate bedrooms. Moreover, near the end of the film, Ellt is ved to a sassy gay party which the queer participants are drsed lorful outfs, androgyno clothg, kschy accsori and garments, clownish masqueras and erotic unrpants, and some of them are wearg heavy make-up. He approach her and they are movg to Mal’s bedroom, where Ellt shockgly fds out that the lady is a handsome drag (1987 [1981]) criciz The Gay Deceivers’ superficialy and shallowns, nsirg this film as “an ‘animated’ live-actn rtoon versn of California gay life” that “offend almost everyone, cludg homophobic crics who wrote that the film vicly anti-gay” (p.

Intertgly, Michael Greer, who performed as Mallm the flamboyant landlord, not only wrote his own role as a sassy drama queen but also apparently rewrote the screenplay plac, makg “funnier and ls homophobic than was tend” wherever he, Rso terprets this flamboyant screen as a good example of gay humor ed an opprsive suatn, a stereotype wh a sense of pri that uld not unteract an sentially homophobic film (p.

A closer look at the screeng of Mallm’s ceivgly gay tenants, however, unvers iologil trici, ntradictns, ngi and ambivalenc this film’s polics of mockg protagonists cly mediate the often surprisgly ambivalent, multifaceted and multilayered attu of the late 1960s straight majory toward gay men, sexual thenticy, and the perilo yet pleasurable potentiali of wearg gay masks.

Whereas The Gay Deceivers centers on two straight guys who pretend to be gay, the Israeli film The Ladi’ Hairdrser (1984) als wh male tws, one of them is “thentilly” gay, whereas his brother is a straight man who merely pretends to be gay. Michel is a flamboyant gay hairstylist wh a heavy French accent, melodramatic mannerisms, glzy blo, tight troers, and effemately bleached hairstyle, who owns a luxur hairdrsg salon for rich Wtern Jewish women at the prtig Dizengoff Center Mall central Tel Aviv. 20) ntrast to the agonized gay man who pretends to be straight, the gay ceiver Victor—drsed as his flamg tw Michel—is easily adjted to the luxuri of the latter’s hoe, cludg the pleasurable whirlpool bath tub, which he has sex wh one of Michel’s voted clients, the betiful fashn mol Eve, who is aroed by their unexpected sex enunter.

The Ladi’ Hairdrser was released when homosexualy was illegal Israel (the law was rcd by the Israeli Knset 1988). Corrpondgly, this film mocks the effemate gay protagonist and misreprents him as a nt, generate, impotent and ludicro pervert.

His tw, the gay ceiver, however, is endorsed his film as a lowlife yet streetwise and loveable man who succsfully his gay masquera as means of tensifyg and diversifyg his straight sex life. The film strs that Victor is a “real man” whose gayns is merely a masquera wh s own heteronormative sexual sissy mask The Ladi’ Hairdrser’s heterocentric world means a merely temporary surrenrg of a straight, hegemonic inty through performative flamboyant ruals.

The pretendg-to-be-sissy scenar here is erned by strictly d formulae pertag to social norms wh an almost didactic tent to liver to s straight dience that gayns is synonymo wh viant effemacy.

Whereas The Ladi’ Hairdrser’s ma ic vice is pretendg to be gay the heart of lowlife machismo, the Mexin romantic edy Macho (Mexi 2016) featur a straight macho fashn signer who pretends to be gay orr to mata his “gay reputatn” the lorful, ftive, and (stereo)typilly gay fashn world. If The Ladi’ Hairdrser gayns is unacceptable bee of the notor machismo of the unprivileged workg class, Macho the straightns is unacceptable bee of the notor flamboyancy and notor gay mps of the fashn sign centers on Evaristo Jiménez (Miguel Rodarte), a renowned fashn signer whose dream is to take his clothg brand to ternatnal fame but he fears that his empire will be threatened if the world will disver his addictn for women, somethg that lns of his gay fans would never five.
