An exceptional read. I think that social division is a key pillar of capitalism. Generating inequality is a means to an end of assigning value to human beings. Social subgroups provide grounds for exploitation, which can come in a variety of forms. Overt discrimination coexists with more elusive types of oppression. Numerous for-profit entities capitalise on struggle, and often go as far as to market their destructive behaviour as constructive action.

Richard Goldstein interviewed James Baldwin about his experiences as a gay, black writer in America. - "You never thought of yourself as being gay?" "No. I didn’t have a word for it. The only one I had was homosexual and that didn’t quite cover whatever it was I was beginning to feel. Even when I began to realize things about myself, began to suspect who I was and what I was likely to become, it was still very personal, absolutely personal. It was really a matter between me and God. I would have to live the life he had made me to live. I told him quite a long, long time ago there would be two of us at the Mercy Seat. He would not be asking all the questions."

This is a really great read, but I feel that I have to mention that everyone is gay. It's 2020 people, denying that everyone has gay thoughts and feelings is a symptom of our toxic society which suffers from internalized homophobia.
