Paper Summary:

This paper identifies sexuality of all kinds all around us, on the Internet, on movie posters, on radio "shock-jock" programs and on street corners where people of all genders attempt to sell their bodies to pay for rent or drugs.The author states that despite all this supposed openness, where even America's president has admitted a dalliance in the Oval Office, the idea of homosexuality as acceptable behavior still eludes the majority of Americans.The paper concludes that although homosexuality is more common it is still not accepted as it should be.

From the Paper:

" For far too long in the Twentieth century, we have laughed at the limp-wristed beautician and window dressers, and on TV, there was Paul Lynde, and in older movies, Franklin Pangborn and Eric Blore and Edward Everett Horton. But, these people never threatened the rest of us. And then, came the AIDS crisis, and the deaths of masculine stars like Rock Hudson. Funny, we would say to our dates, or our parents, "He doesn't LOOK gay."
