For this heterosexual male, who has imagined himself to be Moll Flanders and Jonathan Livingston Seagull, the failure is total. Such a statement will surely be called homophobia, but fear and disapproval are not operating here. In fact, nothing is operating. The reader's reaction is vague exasperation.
