Fake and/or Gay? feat. Amir Naaman & Pierre d'Alancaisez

About this episode

Sini discusses the current state of homosexuality with editors Amir Naaman and Pierre d'Alancaisez, focusing on cultural shifts and the role of art in the gay community.

This week, Sini is joined by Amir Naaman and Pierre d'Alancaisez, editors of the new anthology Inversion, a book of essays about the current state of the homosexual. We talk about the sexual revolution's aftermath, gay vs queer culture, the lack of "telos" in homosexual, as well as why gays, once bearers of art and culture, seem to be flopping hard in that regard.
