Post-gay is a very loosely defined "
movement" among people with distinctive
gender and/or
sexual preferences. Post-gay goals are
multitudinous: mild goals include reduction of the importance of one's
sexuality in
identity definition. Stronger statements tout the complete elimination of the
correlation between
gender and
sex. For example, the
masculine gender would be decoupled from the
male sex, so a
male would be free to choose
feminine or
masculine identities. All of the ideas have the common theme of blurring the boundaries between gender, sex, and sexual preference. They are a backlash against the traditional and conservative gay community, which is largely controlled by
Rich White Men.
