    Let's Face It, It's Pretty SIlly

    If this book was in the comedy section it would make perfect sense. It's very very hard to take this seriously. This book unfortunately follows a pattern throughout history of art and literature being adapted to various perspectives. oppressive governments, religious movements, marketing campaigns, they've all done what this book does. There's plenty of great art and literature that has been created by gay men. Why bother trying to jam a square peg in a round hole?
