Honorable Mention, 2018 Distinguished Book Award presented by the American Sociological Associations Sociology of Sexualities SectionThe first inside look at gay gang membersMany people believe that gangs are made up of violent thugs who are in and out of jail, and who are hypermasculine and heterosexual. In The Gangs All Queer, Vanessa Panfil introduces us to a different world. Meet gay gang members sometimes referred to in popular culture as homo thugs whose gay identity complicates criminologys portrayal and representation of gangs, gang members, and gang life. In vivid detail, Panfil provides an indepth understanding of how gay gang members construct and negotiate both masculine and gay identities through crime and gang membership.The Gangs All Queer draws from interviews with over 50 gay gang and crimeinvolved young men in Columbus, Ohio, the majority of whom are men of color in their late teens and early twenties, as well as ontheground ethnographic fieldwork with men who are in gay, hybrid, and straight gangs. Panfil provides an eyeopening portrait of how even members of straight gangs are connected to a samesex oriented underground world.Most of these young men still present a traditionally masculine persona and voice deeplyheld affection for their fellow gang members. They also fight with their enemies, many of whom are in rival gay gangs. Most come from impoverished, rough neighborhoods, and seek to defy negative stereotypes of gay and Black men as deadbeats, though sometimes through illegal activity. Some are still closeted to their fellow gang members and families, yet others fight to defend members of the gay community, even those who they deem to be fags, despite distaste for these flamboyant members of the community. And some perform in drag shows or sell sex to survive.The Gangs All Queer poignantly illustrates how these men both respond to and resist societal marginalization. Timely, powerful, and engaging, this book will challenge us to think differently about gangs, gay men, and urban life.
