My head started hurting after reading this article. In a good way. But you’ll be fine if you just remember butch, ‘bois’ and femmes are all women.
The classic is “Sarah” who wants to give up her swinging bachelor’s life for something more ‘traditional’.
“I’ve got this model of a household that’s probably sick to a lot of people that makes perfect sense to me,†she says. “What I want is to have a job, and have a life, and I want a partner with a job and a life to come home to, and a high standard of living, and I want us to have kids that go to school and do their homework and go on trips with their parents.†She smiles for a minute with the self-satisfaction of an athlete about to cream his opponent. “And, you know, at the end of a hard day, I would like to come home from work and have my wife suck my cock.â€
The article goes on to ponder, “Is there something subversive about playing the role of the doting wife when your husband is a woman?”
The diversity of the gay world is phenomenal. It is like a mirror of heterosexual relationships, but like the mirror world reflects it in subversive, fun-park and caricatured ways, totally sending up the idea of fixed gender roles.
Which is why the Queer world will always find a home in feminism.
