The Fetishizing of Queer Sexuality. A Response ? Lambda Literary

If you aren’t familiar with M/M fiction here’s what it is: Straight women fetishizing the lives of gay men.

Most of us who identify as queer understand the complexities of sexuality. Many of us struggled with claiming our identities and defining them. Were that not the case, we would not have the alphabet soup of the LGBTIQ community, would we?

That said, fetishizing the sexuality of others is still a blatant form of sexism, homophobia, racism. When you fetishize another’s sexuality, you make them less than. You make them Other.
