2011, Martin Kantor, Now That You're Out: The Challenges and Joys of Living as a Gay Man, page 76:Gay sons thus exposed to shaming antierotic messages and punitive antierotic actions generally internalize the parental erotophobia to the point of imploding sexually by becoming self-homophobic.

1984 December 29, Duncan Mitchel, “The Cult of Gay Machismo”, in Gay Community News, volume 12, number 25, page 9:I have never shared his fantasy. The standard male images exalted by both gays and straights I find anti-erotic. Which isn't to say I'm never attracted by muscular men, only that I am by temperament a resolute anti-Platonist: I am not at all interested in ideal types, but rather individuals.
