In the archetype of the American Cowboy there is a blurring, a queering: the masculine ruggedness of a sunburnt face, long whiskers, calloused hands, and the feminine, caretaking nature of animal husbandry.
I saw him, striking a delicate balance of both, exuding power, grit while being a caretaker of his animals, a commanding leader rooted in a mystifying, materal tenderness.
