HOW WHE AND LATO GAY MEN COME OUT DIFFERENTLY

We examed two possible reasons; feelgs of thenticy and endorsement of a relatnal self-nstal (don't worry, I'll expla this below) 1: Feelgs of found evince that for gay whe men, the more they verbally disclosed their gay inty to others, the more they felt they were showg their te, thentic selv, which turn predicted greater well-beg. In Study 1, creased gay intifitn predicted creased verbal disclosure for gay Whe men but not for gay Lato men, who reported verbal disclosure levels le wh a tac g out strategy (exprsg one’s sexual orientatn to others more non-verbally) regardls of their gay intifitn.

To do so, we brgg together the sexual fields perspective wh the growg lerature on sexual racism, an act of eher sexually excludg non-wh as potential partners or cludg racial mori as sexual partners based only on racial several scholars have noted, ntemporary gay life is marked by high levels of racism directed towards gay men of lor by gay whe men, wh much of the racism maniftg self as negative sexual attus towards, and sexual excln or fetishizatn of, non-whe men (Armstrong 2002; Bébé 2001; Epste 1996; McBri 2005; Tenunis, 2007). Dpe gay whe men’s sistence that sexual excln was not racism but rather personal preference, and that the personal preferenc have nothg to do wh racism, Collanr and his lleagu (2015) found that attus toward sexual excln were related to almost every intified factor associated wh racist attus general.

Th, sexual racism should be unrstood not as personal preference, but as “problematic ndns that stcture the very formatn of romantic relatnships” that is neher benign nor trivial (Bedi 2015: 998) the ia of sexual racism has been wily discsed the popular prs, and amic studi have also documented the racial hierarchy of sire the gay muny, there have been fewer attempts to systematilly exame how such racialized hierarchi of sire are unrstood by gay men of lor and, more importantly, the impact the racial hierarchi have on them. Wh any sexual field, some dividual e to be seen as more sirable than other dividuals pendg on the tras that they posss that are valued by the specific sexual field which they discsg gay sexual fields, Green (2008; 2011) intifi a number of potential tras that fluence the level of sirabily that any given dividual might posss.

In fact, sire for whens has been noted by a number of scholars examg race and racism the gay muny (Callanr, Holt and Newman 2016; Han 2007; Robson 2015; McBri 2005; Tnis 2007) other characteristics intified by Green, such as clothg or mculary, whens is a central anizg prciple the gay muny (Bébé 2001; Han 2007). In promotg equaly through the normalizatn of (homo)sexualy at the expense of “non-gay” issu, gay anizatns such as The Human Rights Campaign promote a monolhic image of the “gay muny, ” as beg rich, nservative, and whe (Bébé 2001; Phelan 2001; Seidman 2002; Walters 2014). As Peter Jackson (2000: 184) not:When sirabily is lked wh race, and when certa rac are ascribed greater erotic tert than others, then to be a member of an “unsexy” ethnic group is to be equated wh an ferr form of importantly, unlike other markers of sirabily among gay men that Green discs, such as amount of body hair, mculary, cloth, etc., race is an entirely ascribed stat, not an achieved one.

I ed to have a 10-foot area around me and people would avoid me, I uldn’t believe while mculary may be the sired tra a “mcle bar, ” the lived realy for gay men of lor is that their attempts to velop or acquire the currency of sire wh those specific gay spac, or sexual fields, is negated by their race. While still utilized by a number of ntemporary scholars to exame racialized sexual stereotyp of black men and women (Buggs 2017; Stevenson 1994; Yancey 2002), the ncept of sexual racism has been particularly eful examg sexual excln of gay men of lor as potential sexual partners, as well as for examg the sexual objectifitn of gay men of lor, by gay whe men.

“COMG OUT” AMONG GAY LATO AND GAY WHE MEN: IMPLITNS OF VERBAL DISCLOSURE FOR WELL-BEG

Some mentators and gay media outlets have argued that sexual sir for one race, and/or sexual excln of another race, is not racism but personal preference, while others have argued that excludg an entire race of people as potential sexual partners is, ed, a racist act. For example, several mentators have observed that gay whe men, and to a lser gree gay men of lor, practice sexual racism on gay datg apps such as Grdr and on onle datg s (Callanr, Holt and Newman 2015; McDa 2005; Pl, Ayala and Choi 2010; Robson 2015; Smh 2017).

VERY FEW PEOPLE SAY “NO WH”: GAY MEN OF COLOR AND THE RACIAL POLICS OF DIRE

Th rather than a way of simply listg their preference for whe men, onle s for seekg sexual partners have lved to venu for gay whe men to volize their racist sexual racism is more than simply excludg members of a racial group as potential sexual partners or objectifyg them as sexual others even when they are sired.

While some are overt such as statements such as “no fats, no femm, no Asians, ” on onle datg apps, teractnal sexual racism also clus more subtle actns such as bars changg mic or enforcg drs s to lim the number of men of lor or gay whe men “warng” other whe men to avoid certa clubs based on the race of the clientele. As the thors’ note, the racialized preferenc seem to be the rult of larger stctur of power and racialized beliefs rather than personal addn, sexual racism is also implited the creatn and matenance of gay sexual fields as “whe spac, ” further margalizg gay men of lor.

Given the fdgs, applyg a sexual racism lens to the sexual fields approach provis wh an opportuny to explore the ways that sexual fields are actively created and mataed by members of a domant group orr to create hierarchi of sexual 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.

In terms of sexual sir, we found four large them, (1) the unrstandg of whens as universally sirable, (2) ways that gay men of lor negotiated racialized sexual spac, (3) impacts on gay men of lor due to sexual racism, and (4) how they attempted to nont sexual prentg the rults, we were guid by two prcipals to ensure that quot reprented both the breadth and pth of our them.

It sounds terrible, but I, you know, you always have to thk about black gays, and I thk their suatn is probably a hundred tim worse than me… you reassure yourself by lookg at other people and sort of regnizg the racial hierarchy and kd of tablishg where you f that.

For example, one gay Asian man who grew up Phoenix, where he was one of only five Asians his school, had this to say about his first experienc the gay muny:And at the time, the fashn was, “the fashn, ” meang not jt clothg but the whole, the public taste the gay world, and the kd of what was en vogue then, was this very whe, preppy, Ralph Lren image. After scribg the gay muny as beg unwelg to gay black man, one black man had this to say about the type of black man that might be better accepted by gay whe men:Now if you happen to be a big black mascule guy wh maybe a big black dick then yeah, maybe they maybe more acceptg, maybe might like you or whatever.

Unfortunately, even when gay men of lor managed to fulfil gay whe racial fantasi, they found themselv disrd when the fetish was of Sexual Racism on Gay Men of ColorAs discsed above, the sexual field is not a ntral playg field where dividual preferenc terme who is valued and who is not. For example, when asked to expand on why he felt unwele at gay bars, one gay black man stated:If you’re a black, if you’re a black gay man and you’re out, you’re out of the closet, you, you don’t feel accepted by the whe gay muny bee for the most part, whe men are to whe men.

The tenncy to avoid Wt Hollywood was found across all racial groups and relatively wispread, leadg to further alienatn for gay men of the centraly of race to the way that they are treated wh the gay muny, gay men of lor spent a signifint amount of time thkg about sexual racism the gay muny. Ironilly, many of the men discsed how they were different om other gay men of lor wh some argug that they have a difficult time fdg sexual partners bee they did not f the stereotype for their negative experienc of gay men of lor wh sexual racism placed gay men of lor a difficult posn terms of datg.

THUNR WAIV RUDY GAY, PER REPORT, CLEARG WAY FOR JACK WHE

In terms of race, the very way that the sexual marketplace for gay men is anized offers gay men of lor wh few opportuni for fdg sexual partners the same way that larger beliefs about race lim opportuni for people of lor orr to exame the role that race plays gay sir, we examed the sexual fields perspective through the lens of sexual racism, particularly that offered by Orne (2017). Many of the men, particularly the early stag of g out of the closet, associated Whe gay men (and their associated social scene) wh femy, while attachg notns of masculy to beg an “thentic” Lato has been extensive rearch on masculy among heterosexual men (Kimmel, 1996; Msner, 2000), men of lor (Miran, 1997; Kelley, 2004; Pase, 2007), and gay Whe men (Connell, 1992; Leve and Kimmel, 1998; Yng et al, 2006).

For example, Carter (2005) revealed that workg-class mori posss “non-domant” forms of cultural pal that they e to mediate the distributn of social stat their exclud om domant forms of power and enomic pal, which is the se for many gay racial mori (Cantú, 1999; Moore, 2006; Decena, 2008), dividuals may nstct new s of power relatns which they implement a cultural value system that adapts to their unique needs and rourc, spac that Bourdi (1996) has termed as “fields. Mal who fail to act tough or who show emotn are often told to stop actg like “girls” or “fags, ” a practice that further rerc the subordate posn of both women and homosexuals relative to straight men (Msner, 2000; Pase, 2007) the heterogeney of men – across race, class, relign, geography and sexual orientatn – is important to note that masculy do not rry the same meang and value across all social ntexts. Ultimately, however, such socially margalized men often still utilize masculy to secure important forms of pal their lol ntext (Reich, 2010) such, masculy matas value among mory, gay and mory gay dividuals, but their boundari and negotiatns of masculy differ om heterosexual Whe men (Hooks, 2003; Kelley, 2004).

Intertgly, Whe peers adhered to mory boundari of masculy, as they never chastised Blacks and Filipos for engagg behavr nsired “feme” by Wh’ standards (Pase, 2007) turn, though popular nstctns and unrstandgs of homosexualy often associate gay men wh femy (Chncey, 1994; Miran, 1997; Pase, 2007; Lneman, 2008), numero segments of the gay muny ntue to valorize mascule genr prentatn (Harris, 1997; Leve and Kimmel, 1998; Nardi, 1999). Compared wh middle-class Whe gays, gay mori tend to be more pennt on social, emotnal, cultural and enomic support om their ethnic/racial muni, which outweighs the benefs of jog mastream gay social circl, which some fd to be racist and classist (Díaz, 1997; Cantú, 1999; Guzmán, 2006; Cantú et al, 2009; Moore, 2010).

IS RUDY GAY A GOOD F?

One such emergg field of study has foced on the experienc of Lato gay Lato MasculiLato fai, cultur and societi both the Uned Stat and Lat Ameri are often stereotyped as beg particularly hypermascule and homophobic relative to other groups (Díaz, 1997; Miran, 1997). As a rult, numero parti – mastream gays, HIV/AIDS anizatns and Lato gay men themselv – have blamed Lato “culture” for the opprsn, isolatn and high-risk behavrs that are associated wh Lato gay men (Díaz, 1997; Cantú, 1999) late Lnel Cantú (1999) astutely criqued such cultural explanatns for maskg the unrlyg stctural factors (for example, race, class, legal stat) that shape Lato gay men's liv.

Ultimately, the studi suggt that Lato gay men negotiate different aspects of their sexual inty, cludg genr prentatn, vis-à-vis multiple fields of power – the immigrant fay and muny, the mastream society, and the mastream gay muny (Carrillo, 1999, 2004; Cantú et al, 2009). Given that gay muni of lor are difficult for rearchers to lote (Moore, 2006, 2008), Los Angel was an ial ntext to study Lato gay men's liv for four primary reasons: the magnu of the US-born Lato populatn, the modifitn and mercializatn of Lato sexualy (as evinced through the prevalence of Lato-specific gay nightclubs and events), the “stutnalizatn or mastreamg” of both gay and Lato spac and the existence of HIV preventn programs targetg Latos (Cantú et al, 2009, 120). The factors meant there were ample opportuni to lote different social arenas which I uld nduct ethnographic fieldwork and regularly teract wh Lato gay a ground theory approach, I began my fieldwork by attendg Lato gay nightclub events Wt Hollywood (the mec of Los Angel gay life) and surroundg areas, such as Hollywood, Long Beach and the San Fernando Valley.

Rponnts were between the ag of 21 and 30 at the time of my data than optg to terview a large sample of Lato gay men, I foced on acpanyg this relatively smaller sample of men bee I wanted to observe directly how Lato gay men negotiate their genr prentatn vis-à-vis multiple reference pots, cludg mastream and ethnic-specific gay spac (for example, gay pri events, art shows, gay eateri), as well as mastream and ethnic-specific heteronormative spac (for example, malls, rtrants, neighborhood ntexts). Footnote 4 Given the relatnal nature of both genr and racial inty (Omi and Want, 1994; Guzmán, 2006; Pase, 2007), I chose the venu bee their rpective clientele, mographic and cultural them (for example, mic, dér) allowed me to observe how Lato gay men do masculy vis-à-vis different reference pots. ” This may expla why many of my rponnts granted me genero accs to their public and private liv ways they did not for dividuals we enuntered who were of other racial backgrounds, particularly Wh and non-Filipo “Urban” Masculy: Prentatn of Self among Lato gay MenWhile the term “urban” broadly not metropolan areas, such as Los Angel and New York, I do not mean to be rctnist my e of the phrase “urban masculy.

In sum, rponnts’ unrstandgs of the relatnship between “appropriate” genr prentatn and public spac reflected not only differenc cultural tast between Lato and Whe gay men, but also illtrated how Lato gay men negotiate their genr prentatn and racializatn Distancg: Lato Masculy as Non-Whe and Non-“gay”The boundary that Lato gay men felt between themselv and Whe gays affected their relatnship to the sexual inty “gay, ” a label they associated wh Whe and feme gay men. ” Although Alan himself grew up a workg class and n speak Spanish, his ment reflected his perceptn that Lato gay immigrants were, as he noted somewhat guiltily, “ls upwardly mobile” than Lato gay men who were born the Uned Stat, part bee of their limed English skills.

Men who are socially margalized still benef om this hegemonic masculy but do not posss bee the masculy they ploy may be stigmatized social arenas beyond their immediate ntext, as is the se among men who are racial mori, poor, gay or transgenr (Reich, 2010; Schilt, 2011).

As gays bee more visible to the mastream society, has bee creasgly important to unrstand how to mimize social equali wh the larger LGBT muny, so that efforts to secure polil rights, such as the recent movements for marriage equaly, have a stronger and more diverse polil base om which to build momentum.
