Judging by the public image of many gay-bashing rock musicians, their struggle for masculine security continues. What else explains their tendency toward portraying women as phallic slaves and looking more confused in their gender identities than do most avowed homsexuals?

Gay activists swat at symptoms in attempting to silence gay-bashing rockers.
