From Drag Queens to Leathermen: Language, Gender, and Gay Male Subcultures - Studies in Language and Gender
Barrett, Rusty (Associate Professor, Associate Professor, University of Kentucky)
From Drag Queens to Leathermen examines gendered language in six gay male subcultures: drag queens, radical faeries, bears, circuit boys, barebackers, and leathermen. The chapters include ethnographic-based studies of language use in each of these subcultures, with special attention to the ways in which linguistic patterns challenge normative assumptions about gender and sexuality.
