Men, Muscles and Zombies: A Partial Response to Michelangelo Signorile

Donald L. Boisvert

This article reflects upon the way in which religious paradigms are used to analyse the cult of masculinity in Michelangelo Signorile's 'report' on gay culture. Boisvert argues that the discourse used by Signorile reduces religion to cultic behaviour and confirms stereotypes of gay culture as unhealthy and hedonistic. The sort of gay self-critique employed by Signorile seeks to contain the religious impulses Boisvert believes are inherent within gay sexuality; an eroticism that in its defiance and excess opens gay men to the touch and kiss of the 'ineffably holy'.
