The Gayborhood: From Sexual Liberation to Cosmopolitan Spectacle
explores the lived experiences of LGBT+ persons in an era of
heightened visibility. Gay urban enclaves, known colloquially as
gayborhoods, illustrate the evolution of LGBT+ political capacity
building. Since their emergence after World War II, gayborhoods
have homogenized at the expense of women, transgender, and nonwhite
persons due to neoliberal policies promoted by urban planners.
Thus, their popularization and economic vitality correlate with a
loss of collective identity and space for some inhabitants. While
gayborhoods were once diverse and inclusive spaces that rejected
normative institutions of marriage and assimilation into dominant
society, the stakeholders of these areas have now unashamedly
aligned themselves with conformity and profitability to legitimize
their existence. The contributors within The Gayborhood invite
readers to reflect on the future of LGBT+ politics and look beyond
the commercialized rainbow spectacle of gayborhoods to the
communities and aspirations within.
