Description

When gay black mean convincingly present themselves as successful business executives...it throws into question some of our society’s more fundamental values and corresponding realities.

That which was previously thought of as so meaningful is shown to be nothing more than a charade and farce. If men can be women, black can be white, the poor can be rich and gays can be straight, then the necessity and inevitability of these boundries become suspect.

Hierarchical border that previously demarcated superiority and subordination would lose their omnipotent meaning.
