Farm Boys: Lives Of Gay Men From The Rural Midwest - Plot & Excerpts
He grew up with three brothers, two older and one younger. Doug lives in the Indianapolis area, where he works with the state environmental agency. MY EXPOSURE to gay life has been limited, but I’ve been around and observed enough that I’ve drawn some conclusions. One is that a lot of what people perceive as gay personality—lispy talk, faggoty manners—is affectation. Guys are that way because they’re around other people who are that way—people who, for whatever psychological reason, want to flaunt their differentness. And if anything has held us back, that has. I know some people who are naturally that way, and they’re the sweetest people, and I have no qualms whatsoever about being known as their friend and hanging around them. There are also a lot of guys who obviously behave that way out of affectation. I’ve had a couple of boyfriends who started out acting real butch, real regular, and doing a good job of it, and when I got to know them better they slipped into that habit.
