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.

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. 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.

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.

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.

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. (017L)What’s tertg is that both men quoted above amed their movement away om what they perceived was the “gay muny” by first discsg the ways that the “gay muny” was not necsarily welg of gay men of, even when their own sexual sir were directed toward whe men, some men saw chang among younger men of lor.

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).
