Homosexuality - oppressed/abnormal/treated as an illness until 1990s = modern theorists
Homosexual cinema = alternative/independent
Brokeback Mountain = first mainstream film - gay spectator can directly relate or symphasise  with the coming out process = allegiance with the characters

Judith Butler 

  • Gender in all a societal performance
  • Masculinity vs femininity 
  • Homosexuality is mimicking heterosexual relationships - butch lesbian etc = gender trouble
  • Gender trouble is created when these roles are subverted - 500 days of summer Sid and Nancy 
  • Gender trouble = doomed to fail
  • Gender trouble = hyper masculine or femininity. If this occurs the relationship is doomed to fail 

Derek Rucus 
  • Homosexual spectator is forced to become a woman subculture - lust for sexual gaze from Bond
  • Gaze upon Bond himself 
  • They become the women so that the sexual gaze from the man to the woman is then put upon to them
