有人看 藍調石牆T
The bar culture of Jess’s time is the only comfort gays and lesbians had from their isolation, yet at the same time, it feels cage-like. Because of the hostility of their living environment, the gays and lesbians were forced to gather and cling onto what little support they can find from those bars and each other without another choice (unless they do an unrealistic fly-away to heck-knows-where). If the particular bar culture of a gay’s or lesbian’s province was… not so healthy, let’s say, shaped by stereotypes, then too bad for him or her! Of course, a lot of them would not have survived what hostility they showered in without these supports. Yet… . It is a frustrating situation
Then we have stereotypes...which seem to be part of the environment a person lives in, and which is inseparable from the shaping of that person and, to further that, his or her society. Stereotypes are in our lives like a log in a tower of intersecting wood logs, from which the removal of one would disturb the existance of the overall structure.
I didn';t finish the book yet, but I do recommend it!
