This work symbolizes the divisive understanding of the body image between straight and LGBTQ+ men. Within the queer community, the toned figure of the male body has been made synonymous with what could be seen as the paradigm of masculinity. Historically, this hyper-masculinity has been used to suppress the men who embraced their femininity. The muscular figure in the painting is positioned within a golden coupon, a cure-all for those looking for what can be seen as the perfect body. The text, “Be Strong! Now only $16.95,” implies that this human form is for sale, referencing the commercialization of perspective regarding body type.
