Violating Gender Norms

If anyone was interested by the comments I made in class about homophobia and transgressing gender norms, the article I referred to was called "Because That's What We Do To Faggots" by Riki Wilchins. I read it in an anthology on writing, but I'm sure it's on the web somewhere.
It brings up some interesting points about what people really fear about gay men and women. After all, if we don't think they're going to make us gay, what is so dangerous or scary about them? What can't they live their lives in peace?
