n what ways was Orzechowicz using the stage as a metaphor for our larger society outside of the parade culture? What do our onstage and backstage personas mean when you’re referring to someone outside of parade culture, such as myself or a classmate? What might our onstage and backstage personas be and how might they be different from each other?
Do you feel if the parade culture was more heteronormative it would be different for viewers or do you feel it would go unnoticed?

Orzechowicz argues that the Parade culture both challenges heteronormativity (the subordination of homosexuality by heterosexuality) and also reproduces elements of the gay/straight power dynamic.
Other than the fact that gay male performers are numerically dominant, use examples from the text to describe at least two ways that the Parade culture challenges heteronormativity.
According to Orzechowicz, how do heterosexual men in this workplace also challenge heteronormativity in Parade culture?
