Finally, Duggan mentions the “right to privacy” becoming “domestic confinement” because many queer issues have been limited to issues such as gay marriage which is an attempt to assimilate to straight heteronormative ideas. Further, Duggan’s mention of freedom reinforces her idea of gay tunnel vision in that many within the queer face inequalities that are not addressed. They also make a profit on these fights for equality. She mentions how institutions like the Human Rights Campaign do not focus on the true issues queer communities face but rather superficial issues that primarily affect upper middle class cis white gay men. Her reference to conservativizing institutions relates to the Human Rights Campaign sponsoring things like pride marches. Duggan example of equality becoming narrow is what she refers to as “gay tunnel vision” which focuses on issues such as marriage equality rather than issues faced by disadvantaged populations within the queer community. , Duggan says, “‘Equality’ becomes narrow, formal access to a few conservativizing institutions, ‘freedom’ becomes immunity for bigotry and vast inequalities in commercial life and civil society, the ‘right to privacy’ becomes domestic confinement, and democratic politics itself becomes something to be escaped” (65-66). 1 - 4 18 and Life (2016 Remaster) - Skid Row.

He thinks of himself as weird and out of place. Reynie Muldoon doesn’t think of himself as extraordinary. Once in a while you just want to read a book that’s fun. So I borrowed a library copy, took it home, and fell in love. As far as I could ascertain I was the only children’s librarian in the WORLD who hadn’t read “The Mysterious Benedict Society”, and that was going to have to change. Oh, I should really read it! Oh, it’s really good! Oh, you haven’t read it? What’s wrong with you? Eventually, the pressure got to be too much. But then the book’s name kept cropping up left and right.
