In this lively and surprising essay on the dangers of 'normality' Michael Warner sends a warning shot to the gay rights movement, which has cleaned up its image in order to blend in with the mainstream. By taking as its raison d'etre the fight for gay marriage, Warner feels gay politics has abandoned its historic fight against the stigmatisation of sex. But, as Warner shows, when gays agree to separate their 'sex' from their 'identity', they are only rewarded with oppressive trends like the stricter zoning of gay clubs and businesses.
Warner presents a piercing and cogent analysis of the politics of shame and the stigma of sexual identity. Cutting through the confused moralism that surrounds sex, Warner offers an alternative ethical vision that proclaims sex is as varied as the people who have it, and honesty and morality are not limited to those with a marriage license.
Michael Warner is a tenured professor of English at Rutgers University, where he teaches American Literature and Queer Studies. In addition to several scholarly works and textbooks on American Literature, he has written for THE VILLAGE VOICE, THE NATION, THE ADVOCATE and other periodicals.
