Homosexuality In Everyone's Queer By Rupp

If modern categories of sexuality did not exist, I think that Mc and Prok would live their lives differently because their certain acts and feelings had not been identified as a type of person. In “Everyone’s Queer,” Rupp points out that before people think of the heterosexuals, “men engaged in sexual acts with other men without any bearing on their identity as heterosexual… Women embraced their women friends, pledged their undying love, and slept with each other without necessarily interfering with their married lives” (8). Without a specific category describing them, it seems that they would not necessarily conform to the conventions. If they were being considered as a non-normative type of person, they would definitely change their acts.
