Stereotypilly, gay, queer and trans kids flee small towns to fd acceptance big, diverse ci like New York or Chigo. But evince shows many will eventually return to ral areas. * trade gay urban *
We expand the existg body of work about sexualy and raly (Bell, 2000, Bell, 2006, Gorman-Murray et al., 2008, Kirkey and Forsyth, 2001, Smh and Holt, 2005, Valente, 1997) by focg on the experience of self-intified gay men who grew up French and US ral spac. 2 Acceptg that intify formatn is a plex procs shaped by dividuals’ movements om one space to another (Andrews, 2009), this article characteriz how this procs emerg for a select group of ral gay men.
Therefore, our rearch qutns how the procs of formg sexual (and genred) inti for the ral gay men works through an attractn and, ncurrently, a repulsn of the “cy. Other theorists have poted out the need to not only foc on factors such as race, ethnicy, age, genr, and class when tryg to unrstand subjectivi that nstute gayns, but also the need to rporate geographic lotn as a cisive factor (Inns, 2004, Knopp, 2006, Knopp and Brown, 2003). For stance, Knopp argu that “the ia of movement, flux, and flow as important ontologil s and of themselv, for both gay men and geographil thought, has been unrappreciated and unrveloped the lerature of both” (Knopp, 2006: 219).

This article explor more eply the relatnship between spatial movements and the buildg of ral gay men’s sense of have been portrayed as “homosexual paradis” whose tolerance of non-heterosexual inti and sexual practic attracted numero ral dividuals tryg to pe the nservative culture of their place of birth (Blidon, 2008, Rub, 1993, Valente and Skelton, 2003, Wton, 1995). Ci have also bee talysts the nstctn of ntemporary gay cultur3 whereas ral plac have monly been ntrasted as cultural vacuums (Aldrich, 2004, Knopp, 1998, Mort, 1995). This ral/urban distctn appears so embedd nscns (and rearch) that has bee a source of unrstandg of gay dividuals’ relotn and migratn, broadly, and this rearch, of ral gay men’s relotn and migratn, specifilly (Gorman-Murray, 2007, Knopp and Brown, 2003).
Posive social and legal shifts have led to chang “gayborhoods,” but we haven’t que evolved past the pot of needg them. * trade gay urban *
Past gay migratn studi suggt that due to feelg out of place the ral muni where they grew up, gay dividuals need spatial displacement and relotn to urban spac orr to be able to exprs eely their alternative sexual sir and to velop their non-heterosexual inty (Bnie, 2004, Brown, 2000, Cant, 1997, Chncey, 1994). In fact, the studi nflate gay migratn wh ral–urban displacement where ral areas are portrayed as “nstrag plac” for homosexual sexualy ntrast to urban areas which are portrayed as “liberatg plac.
” Recently, this unidirectnal approach to gay migratn rearch has been challenged for: (1) givg a simplistic and partial view and unrstandg of gay dividuals’ movements, (2) assumg the impossibily of velopg gay inty ral areas and the necsy of gog to urban centers to velop one, and (3) suggtg the existence of a unique, “fully formed and fixed” inty urban centers (Gorman-Murray, 2007).
