Reviews

needs more homophilia


(4.5 stars)

None of the lectures, some of whom are great, discuses the role that gay anal sex had in ending the war. Modern scholarship is based on including gay anal sex in as many unlikely places as possible. The horrendous ommision of gay but sex, likely means many of these lectures are already fired. Shame there is so much latent heteronormativity in academia.
