Political Party Bottom plays provocatively with the obvious and highly politicized homophobia/gay connection. It is a statement about overacting the masculine persona in an effort to suppress the inner feminine.
An endless parade of anti-gay politicians and religious leaders have been arrested in bathrooms for soliciting sex, caught up in scandals with male sex workers and so on. The quote, “the lady doth protest too much, methinks” comes to mind. These individuals speak out against others in an effort to cover up their own conflicted feelings and inner turmoil.
In Political Party Bottom, we see that conflict unfold in real time through the experience of a Trump supporter. His MAGA hat is a symbol – and, once it falls to the floor, the man is able to surrender into his true identity. For the first time, he kisses his partner and allows himself to be the ravenous, cock-craving party bottom that he really is.
