Why are you so shocked the novel is about male prostitution? This was/is super common amongst gay and bisexual men, and it makes you sound like a clueless and judgmental sex negative prude or as though you do not really know any gay men. The spoilers and writing about films which have little if nothing to do about the novel are completely unnecessary, as is your racism towards Europeans, and the clueless rant against masculine bisexual and gay men. Rom-com? "Love scenes"? Haha it is an adults only dirty novel, not a novel or film written by and for women to get them hot and bothered.

The title Fee-males is not homophobic or biphobic, misogynistic, against drag queens/female impersonator entertainers, etc. Stop applying late 20th Century/early 21st Century woke PC morals, pro-trans (trans/trans activists want to erase LGB identity and force Or manipulate LGB teens and youth to believe that they are trans and need harmful hormones and a sex change operation), and virtue signaling to a novel that was written decades ago. Do you know anything about gay and bisexual men or the larger so called LGB/LGBT 'community' at all besides all of the silly navel gazing, and useless spewings or rants from pointless gender studies and queer theory classes? Racism in the gay/LGB community? The novel was written when the vast majority of LGB non-European 'people of colour' were deeply closeted or not out at all, and it is still like this today. The badly kept secret is that even today the majority of non-European or 'people of colour' are still super homophobic/biphobic and really dislike other 'people of colour' who are not heterosexual.

Were it not for European or 'Anglo' gay and bisexual men and women there would not be equality for LGB people in the Western world today.

FYI queer is a super offensive slur against us bisexual and gay men and it is often times the first slur we hear and for those of us who get bashed or killed one of the last things we hear.

Why did you censor or change the original title based on your woke PC agenda? Keep it all original and stop being pro-censorship.

The way I read it, Fee Males was just a bad title that was slapped on that didn't really have much to do with the story. I think A Gay Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum is a better and funnier title. Also, queer isn't a slur. The famous call to action goes "We're Here. We're Queer. Get Used to it." And LGBTQ+ includes queer right in the acronym.

The novel is about male hookers the original title does go well with the story as prostitutes get paid both for sex and apparently for being discreet about who their clients are and what they did sexually with them for money. Yes queer is a slur, and LGBTQ+ is a super recent invention as was LGBT-why the T was added is a mystery as trans people were not involved in LGB rights and from the very start were adamant that they did not want to be included with bisexual, gay and lesbians, and for many decades it was LGB. How many more useless and pointless letters will be added?
