Additional comments from Mr. D’Angelo, reprinted here with his permission:
“Imagine a young male teenager struggling to identify with a particular sexual orientation. On a physical level, he is highly aroused by other men, which leads him to believe that he might be a homosexual. However, after attending a gay alliance meeting, seeing a gay pride parade, and watching Isaac Mizrahi host a red carpet, he is unsure if he fits this flamboyant lifestyle. This is because gay identity is no longer just about same-sex attraction, but it is now a cultural identity complete with its own customs, politics, and fashion.
This identity is critically and brilliantly examined in the upcoming book by Jack Malebranche entitled, Androphilia: Rejecting the Gay Identity, Reclaiming Masculinity due out on December 15 by Scapegoat Publishing.
I had the privilege of reading an advanced copy of the book and speaking with Mr. Malebranche over the summer on my radio program. Malebranche spoke in a refreshing voice of reason that masculinity and homosexuality are not mutually exclusive; that desire has nothing to do with supporting universal health care or other leftist ideals; and that irrational victim mentality is counterproductive.
I stated that at the end of the interview that this book should be required reading for high school students and students enrolled in diversity classes.
So if you want a perspective on homosexuality that isn’t getting the attention it deserves, I strongly recommend that you purchase the book and lose the gay stereotype that the gay community established.”
- Allan D’Angelo, host of WAIF 88.3’s summer radio program The Allan D’Angelo Show, Graduate Student at Xavier University
ON CAMPUS
Northern Kentucky University
Androphilia was assigned as required reading for a Spring 2008 Psychology of Human Sexuality (PSY-205) at Northern Kentucky University. The instructor used the book as a counterweight for more “orthodox” material on homosexuality, was pleased with the student responses (both pro and con), and hopes to use the book when he teaches similar classes in the future.
ETC.

“A new book also brow beat me into passive aggression. Titled “ANDROPHILIA: A Manifesto — Rejecting the Gay Identity; Reclaiming Masculinity, it’s by self-styled, ‘gay drill instructor,’ Jack Malebranche. (What a nom-de-plumbing!)”
