description: Here is a revealing look into male why some gay men are swishy, why other gay men are more masculine, and why effeminate men arouse anger, disgust, and disdain in both gay and straight men. Sissyphobia explores those negative feelings that are aimed at people termed fairies, faggots, flamers, and queens; men who, as the author puts it, "run more toward what we could term the 'Quentin Crisp school of homosexuality.'" The focus of Sissyphobia is the author's search for the roots of the rage toward effeminate or flamboyant men experienced by men of every sexual persuasion, even themselves.
