TWO GAY MEN BTALLY ATTACKED BY GANG OF TEN HOMOPHOBIC TEENS
Several very meangful differenc arise om the gang’s rat of heterosexual to gay, lbian, and bisexual gang members. My recent book, The Gang’s All Queer: The Liv of Gay Gang Members par men three typ of gangs: gay, straight, and hybrid. Gay gangs were ma up exclively or nearly exclively of GLB people, while the straight gangs were ma up of a majory of heterosexual people.
A few primarily-straight gangs had a cril mass of gay, lbian, or bisexual members—anywhere om about a quarter to almost one half—which I ll hybrid gangs. Straight gangs were anized by neighborhoods, wh men jog pre-existg groups, while the gay gangs were stctured around their shared sexual inty, and many helped form their gangs. On average, men joed gay gangs nearly four years later life than men who joed straight gangs, and they were out when they joed.
