Stori bee powerful precisely bee they draw upon social them that are wily shared and root our experienc relatn to the experienc of others who we believe are like thereby creatg a shared inty based on shared experienc (Chdhary 2004) this paper, we exame the ways that gay men of lor nstct what means to be a member of this group by specifilly g a number of anecdot that highlight their llective shared experienc the larger gay muny and their racial and ethnic muni.
That is, how members of mory groups e to fe the social space and their social ntext self leads to the ways that mory inti are socially Men’s “Comg Out” StoriExamg the life stori of gay men, Ken Plummer (1995: 50) found that the stori that gay men tell about “g out” share a number of siar “narrative plots” that clu “acute sufferg [and] the need to break a silence” followed by a “signifint transformatn” once they e out as gay.
NO ASIANS, NO BLACK PEOPLE. WHY DO GAY PEOPLE TOLERATE BLATANT RACISM?
* gay white asian *
Unlike the “g out” procs envisned by the stage-wi mols of inty, Plummer’s work monstrat how “g out” is not simply a stage the velopmental procs but a larger “formula story” that allows gay men to make sense of their personal experienc through the adaptatn of a life story that is nsistent wh how they e to see themselv and allows them to place their personal experienc wh a larger social and cultural amework of what means to be “gay. Th, storytellg is not jt about nstctg ourselv but about nstctg a muny of people who have siar a more recent work, Matthew Rowe (2014) fds that gay men’s narrativ about themselv clu larger cultural trop such as overg personal challeng by reachg out to others they believe are siar to them and renegotiatg terpersonal relatnships.
While gay men do claim membership a group and “bee gay” by formg new ti, movg away om home, shiftg allianc, jog new muni and partg om old on, the experienc get told g anecdot that e to share siar them that ronate wh others who believe that they too share those experienc. In orr to velop a sense of self through the velopment of a llective inty, gay men brg together anecdotal acunts of past life events and “[stich] them together a way that retroactively brgs an overall sense of herence, built around the kd of person one believ onelf to be” (Rowe 2014: 445). ” Listeners unrstand and sympathize wh the stori not only bee they empathize wh the narrator but also bee they n relate their own experienc wh those offered by the stori that are Men of Color, Social Context and “Beg Gay”While eful for unrstandg the experienc of gay whe men, the master story of “g out” that shap the liv of gay whe men may be ls relevant for gay men of lor.
More importantly, as Kle and her lleagu (2015: 316) pot out, the emphasis on “g out” marks “g out” as the endpot of a lear procs towards the velopment of a gay inty while simultaneoly elevatg “outns as more moral, more healthy, and more polilly viable” way of beg that may be ls relevant for those who do not “f” what has e to be unrstood as the “rrect” way of beg “gay. And unfortunately, what they are “supposed to look like” is often whe (Bébé 2001; Han 2007) do this tenncy to view “g out” as a lear procs that ends wh an affirmatn of a “gay inty” addrs the fact that “beg” out is often pennt on ntextual factors. ” Rather than beg fully “out” or “closeted, ” gay men often negotiate levels of personal disclosure and intifitn wh a larger social ntext which clus not only social spac but personal relatnships as the problem wh many of the studi that explore the ntext which gay men e to velop a sexual inty is that they often ignore the fact that not all gay men experience the ntextual fluenc the same way.

Where the gay muny is seen as a welg and open place for gay whe men, gay men of lor report experiencg high levels of racism the gay muny (Bébé 2001; Collanr, Newman, and Holt 2015; Han 2007; Robson 2015; Tnis 2007). In light of the racism that gay men of lor feel om the gay muny, is highly likely that members of this group would need to velop a social inty that would help reaffirm their sense of self-worth, or at least fe threats to their self-worth, specifilly wh the experienc that they have wh a largely whe “gay muny. Sce then, tersectnal analysis has broaned to clu ways that multiple different social posns and social inti have e to fluence and impact the liv of those who occupy the posns, cludg people who are raced, genred, and (homo)sexualized.
Takg this approach, we simultaneoly nsir both race and sexualy orr to unrstand the way that “gay man of lor” be nstcted as a social tegory and of self rather than an addive batn of beg gay, a man, and a person of lor. By monstratg that gay men of lor nstct an tersectnal inty that is simultaneoly raced and sexed g their personal experienc wh a gay muny that they perceived to be racist and muni of lor that they perceived to be homophobic, we argue that isn’t so much the “ntext” but how dividuals perceive the ntext that matters to how they nstct themselv. In dog so, we argue that is important to not only exame the social ntext which inti are created but also how members of social groups e to fe the social space and the ntext and MethodsData for this study me om 35 terviews nducted between December 2005 and Augt 2006 wh gay men of lor durg the ial velopment phase of the Ethnic Mory Men’s Study.
This is a larger quantative study signed to exame the impact of discrimatn, sexual partnership, and social works on sexual risk behavrs among gay black, Lato, and Asian Pacific Islanr Amerin men Los Angel, CA. All black men were born the Uned knowledge gaed om foc group meetgs durg the ial phase of the larger rearch project, an terview gui was veloped to explore gay men of lor’s personal experienc wh their fai, muni of lor, and the larger gay muny.

Dog so, we found that gay men of lor not only e a number of different anecdot that reprent a number of them but sequentially place them their own liv to build a life-trajectory that go om (1) feelg alienatn om their muni of lor, (2) feelg the need to prerve fay ti that led to them believg that they uld not be openly gay their racial and ethnic muni that led to them explorg the gay muny while keepg their racial and sexual inti separate, (3) feelg disillnment the gay muny, (4) then fally claimg an tersectnal inty based on race and sexualy by meetg other gay men of lor. FdgsIn examg the stori that gay men of lor tell about their liv, we found that members of this group ed a number of different anecdot that f to a “master story-patterns, ” a way of amg dividual experienc as a llective experience leadg om a shared social inty, to ame their personal experienc and mak sense of their liv (Bner 1987). When asked to about their experienc as both a racial and sexual mory, the men drew extensively om existg cultural trop about racism, homophobia, and the stggle of beg margalized a largely whe heterosexual world.
Alienatn From Communi of ColorA mon theme among gay men of lor was their shared belief the difficulty of beg a gay man their racial and ethnic muni due to what they perceive is an attempt to hi the existence of gays and lbians due to both stctural and cultural factors.
They – they -- and they would rather that you not do certa thgs bee then they have to talk about or then they have to addrs the man quoted above also noted earlier that wasn’t necsarily the fact that people did not know that he was gay but rather that there was an unwillgns to talk about beg gay openly. Bee of the unwillgns to discs sexual inty gay men of lor occupied a unique space wh muni of lor that did not necsarily reject them based on their sexualy but also failed to validate their experienc fully the same way that they validated the experienc of non-gay members of their muny. As several scholars have noted, muni of lor provi gay men of lor provi the men wh a sense of self long before they start intifyg as “gay” men and provis them wh a sense of affirmatn a racialized world (Han 2015; Loiano 1989; Manalansan 1996).
