  • Gay Immigrants and Grindr: Revitalizing Queer Urban Spaces?
    Gay Immigrants and Grindr: Revitalizing Queer Urban Spaces? “Gay Dance Clubs on the Wane in the Age of Grindr,” proclaimed the journalist Michael Musto in the New York Times in 2016. Musto, who has reported on gay life in New York for decades, had noticed a decline in weekly dance parties. In speaking to club promoters and performers, Musto kept hearing the same thing: people would rather meet others via the comfort of their mobile phones than in a gay space. (“Clubs have been usurped by the right swipe”; “Social media changed the landscape of going out”; “Why pay an expensive cover charge and deal with rude bouncers when you can just swipe on your iPhone?” and so forth.) Similarly, a New Orleans bartender told gay reporter Chris Staudinger: “You could ask any bartender in New Orleans whether the apps have affected business in gay bars, and they would all say yes.” Scholarly research has also pointed to Grindr (and related platforms) as troublesome technologies that might obviate the need for urban gay spaces. Grindr (founded 2009) is a smartphone-only platform that allows mostly gay men (and also queer and trans people) to connect to others in their immediate vicinity via private messages. Related geo-social apps include gay platforms like Scruff, Hornet, Growler or Chappy, or the app versions of websites like Gaydar or PlanetRomeo, and mainstream equivalents like Tinder and Happn. These geo-locative platforms challenge the idea that a “gay space” needs to be a physical space distinct from a straight space, since the “grids of the Grindr interface can be overlaid atop any space” (Roth 2016: 441).

At the Boise State University Student Union, we are committed to enhancing the students• educational experience by providing services, activities, and avenues through which the student can further educational p~rsuits. Students have the opportunity to interact with fellow students, faculty, and staff and do so in an informal atmosphere. Students can also broaden their cultural experiences, pursue recreational interests, and gain a feeling of being a part of the university community.

  • Full-Forward And, Macho Homos : Toward a Masculist Reframing Of
    Referencia bibliográfica: Guagliardo, K. (2012). Macho-Homos. Toward a Masculist Reframing of Male Sexuality. Tesis de Grado. Edith Cowan University. Recuperado de http://ro.ecu.edu.au/theses_hons/76 ISBN: - MACHO HOMOS Toward a Masculist Reframing of Male Homosexuality Masculinity has taken a number of forms through history, with the dominant ideology of a particular culture and era dictating to men how they should perform their gender in order to be considered valuable or virtuous (Spector Person, 2006). In western patriarchal systems, men portray themselves in a particular manner in order to meet cultural criteria of masculinity (Webb, 1998; Biddulph, 1995; Connell, 1995). Although masculinity as a concept has been critiqued by feminism and queer theory, Clarkson (2006), Payne (2007), De Visser & Smith (2007), and Eguchi (2011) have discovered, along with others in the Journal of Men’s Studies, that traditional ideas of masculinity continue to inform, influence and appeal to both heterosexual and homosexual men. At this point, it is useful to consider Judith Butler’s theory of gender performativity. Butler argues, ‘There is no gender identity behind the expressions of gender; that identity is performatively constituted by the very “expressions” that are said to be its results’ (1990, p. 33). Butler asserts that there is no such thing as an inherent, concrete quality of ‘maleness’ within each male human being; that, rather, men perform maleness based on a variety of expressions. With that in mind, what constitutes hegemonic masculinity? What makes a man culturally masculine? Theorists have argued that signifiers of masculinity include: ‘dress, physical stance and movement, vocabulary and speech’ (Webb, 1998, p.

  • Social Media in Gay London: Tinder As an Alternative to Hook-Up Apps
    SMSXXX10.1177/2056305116662186Social Media + SocietyMacKee 662186research-article2016 Article Social Media + Society July-September 2016: 1 –10 Social Media in Gay London: Tinder © The Author(s) 2016 Reprints and permissions: sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav as an Alternative to Hook-Up Apps DOI: 10.1177/2056305116662186 sms.sagepub.com Freddy MacKee Abstract The article explores how the mobile app Tinder complements dating practices and the wider app ecosystem gay men use in London. Within the local gay community discourse, Tinder is said to be a site where the gay “nice guys” go, rendering the platform as a socially constructed environment where gay men behave in a diametrically opposed way to the normative hyper-sexualized behavior of widespread gay hook-up apps. The research question, therefore, is whether Tinder is in fact a place where these “nice guys” go and where one would find them. Through an ethnographic methodology conducted both online and offline, a case is built on how initial conceptions about the app cannot be fully studied or interpreted without understanding the place it holds among other social networks. Evidence is presented to support the case that gay users of Tinder do, in fact, curate the portrayal of their digital identity to present a considerably less sexualized persona with the hopes of finding dates or a relationship. This, however, does not mean that users refrain from using other platforms in parallel as a way of exploring different subject positions and motivations. Behavior and normativity on Tinder are largely explained both by context and also by the design of the platform, which imports and displays personal data from other social networks.
