I found Butler’s “coming out of the closet” argument a very interesting on at that. I to have engaged in long soliloquies about where exactly people are coming out into once they are subjected as “out of the closet.” I believe that one can argue that that same sense of “coming out” that Butler is referring to in her piece can be described as a similar one as the one children go through when they are transitioning from infant to child and from child to adolescent. We could not have had a better example than the one we got from The Uncle. The way that we see and feel how this little boy is contemplating all these unknown factors of his life can be thought of this metaphoric closet that Butler refers to.

Something that really caught my attention was how Butler’s notion that “the subjection that subjectivates the gay or lesbian subject in some way continues to oppress, or oppresses most insidiously once ‘outness’ is claimed” was portrayed by the boy and his expression of curiosity. When the boy ran into the bathroom his uncle occupied he attained more than he bargained for. From here on out a sense of anarchy took over his story: Boy went to the bathroom on himself, uncle screamed at him, boy kept staring at his uncle’s pelvic area non-immutably, and the mother’s grave assumption of her brother molesting her child.
