Abstract

This article proposes an analysis of the effeminate gay urban experience, paying special attention to the particularities of such experiences, confrontations, and disputes over cityspaces. Data was collected using an electronic form that was filled in by 240 cisgender gay men and 8 semi­structured interviews with 8 self­declared effeminate gay men. Our resultsshowed that effeminate, poor, black, peripheral and young gays experience a greater degree of vulnerability in encounters with/in the city and experience the city in a more negative and fearful way, especially in public spaces. These data reinforce the importance of the intersectional lens and the markers of difference in understanding this phenomenon.
