RSIA TO GAYS: SHUT UP AND DISAPPEAR
After years of unrelentg Rsian media attacks on the LGBT muny (not to mentn the ever-creasg rat of physil attacks for which the anti-gay mpaign provis ver), what uld be more hearteng than apparently ordary Rsians showg solidary wh a group of boys who so fortably habed a two-mute homoerotic performance? A number of media mentators, both pro- and anti-Satisfactn, pare the performance to somethg one might see at the Mosw “Blue Oyster” bar, a gay nightspot whose name is both a gay pun Rsian and apparently spired by a scene om the first Police Amy movie. Few bother to rpond to attacks on the boys’ masculy, and virtually no one who fends them is argug that the vio is, ed, “gay propaganda” (not that there’s anythg wrong wh that).
Acrdg to the logic of the pro-Satisfactn mp, the problem wh the naysayers is not homophobia; the problem is that they are the enemi of fun. Instead, the pro-Satisfactn mp is implicly motivated by two key featur: heterosexual privilege and the persistence of gay visibily. My first thought was, “There n’t possibly be that large a muny of out, gay hmen at the Ulyanovsk Aviatn Instute, n there?
” Perhaps my rponse is not jt Amerin, but over-the-hill: when I was growg up, before the days of Gay-Straight Allianc and the like, the ia that a bunch of straight boys uld do a performance like this that was not explicly mockg gays was unthkable. As turns out, though, straight masculy is prer and requir llective vigilance much more when male homosexualy is accepted as a fact of life than do when gayns is all but unthkable.

I saw gayns the Satisfactn vio bee I expect to see gayns now and then as a matter of urse, and don’t signifintly refe my asssment of the people I’m viewg. Gay men are so monized current Rsian mass culture that they simply nnot be the boys next door.
No matter how homoerotic their dancg, the boys’ fenrs generally allow no room to doubt their heterosexualy. In Satisfactn, the boys are engagg what we might ll “gay drag”—straight men adoptg behavrs and clothg we would typilly terpret as “gay.
” What is most rehg about this particular gay drag is that the straight men are, well, playg straight: their dance is humoro, but not bee is makg fun of gayns.
