Full title of Howe's column on Blunderbuss is: "I’m Queer & So Are You: Against Being Born This Way." An excerpt:
What a travesty we have made of a movement for sexual
liberation! By refusing to question our sexuality—I was born this way,
now leave me alone!—queers are often just as resistant to deviance as
the straights we’re supposedly freeing ourselves from. Gay men talk a
lot about our sexual development—when did you come out, what did your
parents say, did you ever sleep with a woman? Countless men, learning
that I have not only slept with a woman but was desperately in love with
one for four years, have challenged me to prove I’m really gay—when was
the last time you slept with a woman? Are you still into that? You’re
not like bi are you?
