"This book examines what American films, for the last one hundred yea=
rs or so, have led us to believe about human sexuality. Its central f=
ocus is on the cinematic representation of homosexuality, but it also=
 explores how other forms of sexuality have been represented and unde=
rstood throughout the years, for as we shall argue, human sexuality i=
s not a singular thing (heterosexuality), nor is it a choice between =
two singular things (either heterosexuality or homosexuality). Human =
sexuality is multiple, varying, and diverse..." from the author's int=
