He is a leftist homosexual. What is not disturbing that he writes it, what is disturbing is that it is in some publication called "The Chronicle of Higher Education" which is ostensibly distributed inside the academic echo chamber of liberal 'educators' (if a 'gender studies' person can be called that)
Of course, he is also a sociology 'professor', which is not that far removed. I am sure the media and the left look at this publication as an authoritative voice.
The "X studies" fields are blatant examples of cultural Marxist ideology masquerading as scholarship in today's elite universities, whether X = African American, Chicano, Gay and Lesbian [LGBTQABCXYZ], Women's [feminist], or anything else. There is really no intellectual content or substance to any of these so-called academic fields of study, just a lot of invented jargon created to dress up minority grievances and to boost self-esteem.
