Unfortunately, in this world today we have those people that push male and female relationships, heterosexuality. But until the day they can understand and accept homosexuality and us, as a whole, it's never going to. . . I mean I know that straight people do enjoy seeing men dress-up as women and perform, but after the face is off, it's a gay male. Stacey's comment that straight men enjoy seeing men in drag can be linked to the idea that the homo-erotic gaze should be diverted. A similar strategy is used in the arena of body building.
Body building is a heavily male-dominated activity that requires men to look at each other's bodies.
Similarly, when the drag queen takes off her make-up, the gazing must end. To see more examples of this see what Eclipse says about the homo-erotic gaze in her interview. I work at a bookstore, plan on going to school.
