"Clark writes that Fight Club 'suggests homosexual themes and relationships even though the narrative does not openly admit them' (417). Clark's assessment is a strong beginning to the recognition of the homoeroticism of Fight Club.
The film's queer element- and the queerness of other artifacts of popular culture- however, remains to be explored. Much is to be gained from analyses of popular culture that emphasize queer elements. A queer analysis can help deconstruct, however temporarily, traditional gender constructs and over time alter what it means to say that you are a man or to say that you are a woman.
Queer lives and queer studies have much to offer the mainstream, heterosexual majority when it comes to challenging predetermined gender identities."

can i get some comfort from Handsome Jack from the Borderlands series? Been going through a tough time lately
Hey Kiddo,
Comfort? From me?
Eeehhh sure, ok, what’s the worst that could happen right? Heh! Worst thing I do is have to call in reinforcements cause I know I’m probably going to fuck this up in some way.. Right! Ok no problem! I’m Jack! I can handle this.
Ok! Peptalk!
Uh… shit. This is harder than I thought it would be.
Look, for all my charm and wit, I do actually give a shit about you. You know? I know I’m not the best at actually saying it. It’s much like Angel, I have the hardest time talking to her sometimes.
Probably because I care about her just as much as I do you.
I guess what I should say is, if you need someone to talk to–I’m not your guy. But, I will be around nearby, should you want or need me for other things. Hah! I’m kidding.
You totally can come talk to me. I’ll even let you come hang out with butt stallion, I’m sure she’d like you too.
Whew, ok. Great! Fun conversation!
Go me!
Hail to the king, Baby!Jack
