Diva Worship and the Sonic Search for Queer Utopia.
Pragmatic and assimilationist ideals permeate contemporary gay culture: Michael Joseph Gross in The Atlantic, for instance, argues that gay male participation in music culture still fetishizes normativity.

I explore gay male music fandom of the past and of the present to imagine a potential queer future. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Popular Music & Society is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
