- Description
- This paper speculates on the role of place in the formation of gay men's identities in the Sydney region. The high visibility of inner city gay territories in Sydney can make it easy to assume that there are no gay men or lesbians outside of these places. Territories like these have been the major focus of research into the relationship between sexuality and space. This paper discusses issues around broadening this research into suburban spaces. Such investigation can diversify our understanding of the relationship between sexuality and space and may also yield positive benefits for gay liberation. The paper concludes by discussing ways forward for investigating the relationship between gay men's sexuality and suburban space.
