| Summary |
Draws on the expertise of twelve contributors, writing from an autoethnographic first person approach. The accounts draw attention to the limits of traditional perspectives to gay men's studies that look at gayness through a sexualised lens and explore how gay men make sense of their identity in their everyday lives. Together they present a complex, nuanced understanding of gayness and challenge the conception of 'being gay' as a sexual orientation because it describes in sexual terms an identity that is not only, not always, and not predominantly sexual. Ideal for students and scholars in Gender Studies, Sexuality Studies, Sociology and Research Methods |
