In his memoir-cum-manifesto, Yale Law School professor Kenji Yoshino wrote of his college years, “I sensed these bodies knew other bodies the way I knew calculus or Shakespeare,” he said.

“On Saturday nights, I would sit in my cement-block dorm room with my face lit green by my IBM’s glow, agonizing not over women, or men, but line breaks.” That’s because Yoshino was gay and in the closet — and, according to what’s known as the “Best Little Boy in the World” hypothesis, perhaps overcompensating for the stigma he faced as a sexual minority.
