THE FOTTEN SECRET LANGUAGE OF GAY MEN

Makg her long-overdue return to the small screen, Phylicia Rashad has land a starrg role on the new Ava DuVeryay-directed CBS drama For Jtice which she will portray Gea Howe, a gay woman workg the Department of Jtice’s Civil Rights Divisn who mt learn to navigate both the racism and homophobia that she mt face the workplace. In the late ‘60s, as gay liberatn groups were fightg for regnn and equaly, Polari h mastream Brish pop-culture the form of Julian and Sandy, two flamboyant, not-officially-but-pretty-obvly gay characters on a BBC rad show lled Round the Horne. 2 apparently matters to both straight and gay men, both black and whe, and om Bryant's well-wrten and thought-provokg book we learn that many men have no problem admtg that they check each other out locker rooms and bathroom stalls.

The problem is that the Media is a dirty, filthy disgtg bs when they want to and they have been shg , turng homosexualy to a 'trend', like they uld fix s of blatant, explic prejudice forcg a trimental view of the gay culture down everyone's throat. That's why I believe flamboyant, attentn-seekg people that e their sexualy as a social tool (which is natural for humans but should be avoid now that we have the CIVILIZATION to eva that) do not reprent the image that gay people are strivg for and serve only to dissemate wrong perceptns of sexualy (like all gay people are futile, va, oversexualized or promiscuo, ceful, backstabbg and all that jazz) and should be reprehend and reted.
