I notice you didn’t give me an example. I’m sick of social media pajama boys who are all style, no substances. She helps Democrats, not conservatives.

Queer reading

Fitzgerald scholars and fans of The Great Gatsby frequently interpret Nick Carraway as being gay or bisexual.[5] Many queer interpretations of Nick’s character hinge on a scene at the end of Chapter 2, in which an elevator lever is used as a phallic symbol. There are then ellipses followed by a brief scene in which Mr. McKee, described earlier as a “pale, feminine man,” is “sitting up between the sheets, clad in his underwear, with a great portfolio in his hands.” Frances Kerr points to the phallic symbolism and the unaccounted-for time in this scene as evidence of The Great Gatsby’s “bizarre homoerotic leitmotif.”[6] Additionally, Edward Wasiolek argues that this scene is evidence of Nick’s “homosexual proclivities,” and he claims that “I do not know how one can read the scene in McKee's bedroom in any other way, especially when so many other facts about his behavior support such a conclusion.”[7]

Give me a break!

No, I did not post a link for the reason that her enthusiasm and hard work on our part is well known.

I post links when I reference information that is relatively unknown by the general public.

You’re a very negative poster, nickcarraway. And undoubtedly a paragon of perfect virtue, as well.
