"The American ideal, then, of sexuality appears to be
rooted in the American ideal of masculinity. This ideal has
created cowboys and Indians, good guys and bad guys,
punks and studs, tough guys and softies, butch and faggot,

it is virtually forbidden - as an unpatriotic act -that the
American boy evolve into the complexity of manhood."
— James Baldwin in his essay
