Summary "In Part One of this book, Davin Allen Grindstaff establishes his notion of the "rhetorical secret" central to constructions of gay male identity: the practice of sexual identity as a secret, its promise of a coherent sexual self, and the perpetuation of secrecy as a product and strategy of heteronormative discourse. In Part Two, Grindstaff examines major issues related to contemporary conceptions of gay male identity."--BOOK JACKET.
