Overall, the fdgs suggt that an crease the favorabily of e e might be an untend nsequence of methamphetame preventn mpaigns, targetg the gay muny, wh their emphasis on the harmful effects of dg e, unsafe sex and HIV risk. Keywords: addictn / substance e, bisexuals, ethnicy, gays and lbians, health behavr, HIV/AIDS preventn, men’s health, mori, risk, behavrs, risk, perceptnsRearchers have documented particularly high levels of dg e among men who have sex wh men (MSM) pared to the rt of the populatn (Cochran, Ackerman, Mays, & Ross, 2004; Greenwood et al., 2001). Even though a few studi have noted a crease MSM dg e recent years (Stall & Purcell, 2000), dg e among young MSM, pecially young MSM gay club/party scen, appears to rema high (Greenwood et al., 2001; Hugh & Eliason, 2002; Kipke et al., 2007; Wood, Nil, & Dargan, 2009).

Some rearchers have foced on the role that dg nsumptn plays muny buildg among MSM (Hartman, 2000) bee of creased sociabily and posive affect om dg e (Green, 2003), or the uniquely central role of bars and dance clubs gay muni (Lewis & Ross, 1995; Slav, 2004). Others have argued that dg e wh the settgs operat as a mechanism for pg wh the stigma of homosexual practic wh the broar society (McKirnan, Vanable, Ostrow, & Hope, 2001) or that feelgs of shame and isolatn and ternalized homophobia draw gay men to dg e (Cabaj, 2000).

For non-Whe MSM, this feelg of shame and isolatn might be particularly acute given what some rearchers have scribed as racism wh the gay muny (Phua, 2007), and the view wh popular culture that gayns is synonymo wh whens (Han, 2008; Kumashiro, 1999; Nemoto, Operar, Soma, Bao, Vajrabka, & Crisostomo, 2003; Tnis, 2007). Moreover, few studi have examed motivatns for g one dg rather than another or the perceptns of each dg’s acceptabily wh particular social groups and the gay muny the past , rearchers studyg dg e among MSM have been particularly ncerned wh issu of dg and alhol e as relat to behavrs that put dividuals at risk for HIV fectn.

FEATURED STORI

After nearly a of work on dg e the San Francis Bay Area club scene, we have noticed a signifint change over time our participants’ perceptns of the acceptabily of e, particularly among our gay and bisexual male participants. As we noted above, methamphetame has long been discsed as an example of normative dg e wh the gay club and dance scene (Bermeister, 2007; Reback, 1997), and has more recently been the foc of much of the lerature on dg e wh the gay muny. It has also been the target of aggrsive dg-e preventn mpaigns, both the San Francis Bay Area gay muny and the rt of the untry (Center for AIDS Preventn Studi [CAPS], 2006; Erceg-Hurn, 2008; Grov, Parsons, & Bimbi, 2008).

In fact, many of our participants ma direct parisons between methamphetame and e and, many ways, appeared to view e as an “alternative” to methamphetame, which, perhaps due part to mpaigns emphasizg the dangers of methamphetame e, appears to have cled favorabily the gay scene the past several years. Rather, as we scribe the article that follows, e’s role wh the gay club and bar scene, the physlogil effects of the dg, and the nstctn of the dg’s risks relative to other dgs, has created an environment which e e is safe, fashnable and discsn of e e wh our sample will be divid to four parts, which rrpond to the four rearch qutns outled above.
