I pose this question because as love and happiness are shared
human desires, I have essentially always heard black gay and queer
men say that they want a “masculine” man. Their presentation
notwithstanding, a large number of black gay men have made
masculinity their standard for love; and thereby, have attached much
of their happiness to something that – many would say – is largely
external and performative. That begs the question what is invaluable
or superior about masculinity? What gives masculinity its privilege?
And importantly from what power structure or binding source have so
many of us gotten that perception of masculinity from?
