    This has got to be one of the most poorly written book blurbs I have ever read. This could be a book filled with completely valid arguments and theories about LGBTQ/heterosexual culture, but this blurb paves the way for so much confusion.

    Are we talking about heterosexual men playing with sexuality in the same way that heterosexual women do? Or are we talking about straight-acting men being sexually active with other men and continued to label themselves straight? Additionally, is the racial aspect about these men in comparison to heterosexual or non-heterosexual non-white men?

    I would imagine that the actual book would be more well written than this chaotic synopsis, so I wouldn't be offended by it unless you pick up the book somewhere because the synopsis itself is all over the place with this terminology.
