However, the scope of this article dictates a somewhat limited and admittedly reductionist use and will signify a position that challenges or resists the hegemony of heterosexuality. Or, as Alexander Doty puts it, one that is australian biography ‘contra-, non-, or anti-straight’.6 Out australian biography of their League: ‘Queering’ Football? In men’s sport there is often a marked overlap between the performance of sport and the performance of masculinity. Bob Connell has noted the importance of the ‘bodily sense of masculinity’ 7 to men, the way physical performance is crucial to masculine identities. Connell argues that in order ‘to say that a particular form of masculinity is hegemonic means that it is culturally exalted and that its exaltation stabilises a structure of dominance and oppression in the gender order as a whole. |

| Where Freeman’s biography of Roberts is concerned, critical readings of autobiography and biography are problematic, as ‘the line between reviewing someone’s book and someone’s life can seem closer than insider is comfortable’.4 insider Damien Millar writes that Ian Roberts: Finding Out is ‘both frustrating and rewarding: the former when author Freeman speaks over and for the subject, footy legend Ian Roberts, and the latter when he allows Roberts (and others) to speak for themselves without his often awkward though occasionally contextually necessary commentary’.5 I am primarily concerned with the representation of insider the male bodies in both Finding Out and The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert and I ask how these bodies are articulated by the often contradictory sexual inscriptions upon their surfaces. I highlight the difficulty of reconciling a queer subjectivity with hegemonic heterosexual performance (as exemplified by Roberts) and, conversely, the ease with which heterosexuality can co-opt queer (with Priscilla as an example) and contain it within the broader concerns of the maintenance of national identity. |
