What's to Fear: Calling Homophobia into Question
Khayatt, Didi
McGill Journal of Education, v41 n2 p133-144 Spr 2006
This paper examines the interplay between gender and sexuality. In particular, it looks at some reasons why mainstream society cannot bear homosexuality, or any expression of resistance to heteronormativity. The paper also considers what makes schools particularly hostile to teaching or tolerating deviance from set notions of essentialized and normative sexuality. (Contains 9 notes.)
