For a group of people bond over a shared stigma, the gay muny do an awful lot of stigmatizg self. All those maxims about pri and self-acceptance n obscure the fact that the world of gay men is a celly stratified place. Then, at the bottom of the ladr, li the rt—those gays wh too much fat to cut at the top, and not enough furry virily to make the middle.
BIG GAY PALS
Behold: the fat gay men. In his lively (and fabuloly tled) Fat Gay Men: Girth, Mirth, and the Polics of Stigma, Jason Whel, a genr studi profsor at Pace Universy, attempts to rcue the guys om the bottom of the homosexual heap, to cidly mixed rults. Billed as an ethnographic study, Fat Gay Men is as much a semi-ic romp as is an amic treatise.
The fat gay men scribed Fat Gay Men are tired of beg ostracized by their muni—so they ci to ostracize themselv stead. In an attempt to pe the stigma of rpulence, fat gay men wear as a badge of honor.

Whel’s book foc primarily on Girth and Mirth, a natnwi social club of fat men who hang out wh each other to dodge the strsful expectatns of the larger gay muny. Then the fat gay men go home—and the troubl start aga. At gay pri paras, Girth and Mirthers draw an equal amount of cheers and jeers.
So the fat gay men ghettoize themselv further, stickg to their own clubs and bars, remag largely visible, rdoned off om the gay muny at large. Some big men grow bter om their social secln and traduce their more toned brethren; Whel scrib one glum meetg where a Girth and Mirther sourly nmns th gay men as hollow, ke-snortg party animals. For some fat gay men, self-acceptance is a zero-sum game.
Not all fat gay men are rentful of f on, and not all f gay men are nscendg toward fat on.
