Notably, high levels of dg e have been documented among MSM gay urban epicenters such as New York, Los Angel, and San Francis (Clatts, Goldsamt, & Yi, 2005a&b; Grov et al., 2006; Stall & Purcell, 2000).

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).
