...racing, the only other regulated high speed animal racing sport (in the matter of speed, both horse and dog put homo sapien to shame) jockeys have been foresaken in the 20th century for the mechanical rabbit. Though the change originally occurred because man had become too large to ride dogs, the jockey's steel and cotton replacement has proved more than sufficient, and in many ways beneficial.

...James Coco redeems a role that skirts the emotional breaking point and tests the border of the intolerable. Like an obscene Buddha of bloat, he is seated and immobile at center stage. He can use only his face, his voice and his hands to convey scalding inner pain, the shame of incessant humiliation, a wry humor that disguises itself as self-mocking wrath and a shyly proffered love that he knows will be drowned like an unwanted kitten.

Many of us now remain invisible not from guilt or shame, but simply because this adaptation is vastly more convenient. Our sexuality is certainly not the chief organizing principle of our lives. We have the same variety of aspiration, achievement, and human warmth. We are everywhere that you are, and share large parts of your lives: in school, in your sport, on the U.S. Olympic team, in business, in your home, and even in your family, in other words: the kid next door, someone's brother...
