The Fantasy is Death (Part II)

Finishing off our discussion of fascism through essays from "Leatherfolk" that complicate the problem of desire, and use that to move onto contemporary queerness to look at how homonationalism and homonormativity haunts the discourse on all sides. How is it that such deeply regressive notions are laundered into our understandings of queer and trans identity? Maybe the answer can be glimpsed in the mess of erotocism all along.

Show Notes:

"Fascinating Fascism" in Susan Sontag's "Under the Sign of Saturn"
