Queer Sites in Global Contexts showcases a variety of
cross-cultural perspectives that foreground the physical and online
experiences of LGBTQ+ people living in the Caribbean, South and
North America, the Middle East, Europe, and Asia. The individual
chapters-a collection of research-based texts by scholars around
the world-provide twelve compelling case studies: queer sites that
include buildings, digital networks, natural landscapes, urban
spaces, and non-normative bodies. By prioritizing divergent
histories and practices of queer life in geographies that are often
othered by dominant queer studies in the West-female sex workers,
people of color, indigenous populations, Latinx communities, trans
identities, migrants-the book constructs thoroughly situated,
nuanced discussions on queerness through a variety of research
methods. The book presents tangible examples of empirical research
and practice-based work in the fields of queer and gender studies;
geography, architectural, and urban theory; and media and digital
culture. Responding to the critical absence surrounding experiences
of non-White queer folk in Western academia, Queer Sites in Global
Contexts acts as a timely resource for scholars, activists, and
thinkers interested in queer placemaking practices-both spatial and
digital-of diverse cultures.

Popular culture has recognized urban gay men's use of the Web over
the last ten years, with gay Internet dating and Net-cruising
featuring as narrative devices in hit television shows. Yet to
date, the relationship between urban gay male culture and digital
media technologies has received only limited critical attention.
Gaydar Culture explores the integration of specific techno-cultural
practices within contemporary gay male sub-culture. Taking British
gay culture as its primary interest, the book locates its critical
discussion within the wider global context of a proliferating model
of Western 'metropolitan' gay male culture. Making use of a series
of case studies in the development of a theoretical framework
through which past, present and future practices of digital
immersion can be understood and critiqued; this book constitutes a
timely intervention into the fields of digital media studies,
cultural studies and the study of gender and sexuality.

This book explores the concept of homonormativity and examines how
the politics of homonormativity has shaped the lives and practices
of gay men living primarily in the UK. The book adopts a case study
approach in order to examine how homonormativity is shaping
relationships within gay male culture, and between this culture and
mainstream society. The book features chapters on same-sex
marriage, HIV treatment, dating and hook-up culture, sexualized
drug use and the world of work. Throughout these chapters, the book
develops a conversation regarding the role that neoliberalism has
played in defining gay male identities and practices in the UK and
USA. If homonormativity is understood as the sexual politics of
neoliberalism, this book considers to what extent those sexual
politics pervade gay men's sense of self, their relationships with
each other, their experience of the spaces they occupy in everyday
life, and the identities they inhabit in the workplace.blematizing
