In the readings for this week there was quite some confusion within all of the texts.
It wasnt as straight forward as past readings have been.
During the reading of Fiedler i wanted some background information as to why he picked the vocabulary for this piece of writing. I couldnt find any information as to where he got the influence from but it did say that he was interested in mythology and for writing genre fiction novels.
I never realized how many writers analyzed the homosexual world. I never knew that there were writers who focused on how people became homosexual or rather born with it.
I think it is a good way to get out to the people and make people understand certain concepts. Although concepts such as the "closet" may cause controvesy within a group of people there is also a unity that brings them together for the concept to be discussed. Should the closet be a symbol of let out in the world and freedom or does it have to be a barrier?
