i have very mixed feelings about this book. while i applaud signorile’s critical look into the contemporary “gay lifestyle” or whatever (and, as a journalist, he does it well and covers a multitude of viewpoints), it still comes across as very preachy, which turned me off a little. he definitely advocates giving up the “ghettoization of homosexuality” (urban living, drugs, gyms, etc.) in order to become more suburban (ie: “normal,” ie: like straight people). although this, as i said, turns me off, at the same time, he provides lots of evidence that maybe such a change is needed, as more people become self-destructive through drugs and unprotected sex. i dunno, in the end, i think there are other solutions and i don’t think living in the suburbs in monogamous relationships are necessarily the answer. a good read, nonetheless.
