Abstract:
|
In this paper I move towards offering a social class analysis of the construction of Mexican and Mexican American male homosexualities. Drawing from my own qualitative research on a multi-classed population of homosexual Mexican and Mexican immigrant men, I argue that, in Mexico, within middle-class communities the activo/pasivo model, which appears to have dominated at one time, has increasingly been replaced by an object-choice or gay model of homosexuality. Similarly, I argue that in Mexico within poor or working class communities, the activo/pasivo form continues to dominate. By focusing on impact of social class on homosexuality throughout this paper, I contribute to the empirical study of Mexican homosexuality which has nodded towards the importance of such an analysis, but which, to date, has not provided a thorough examination of the relationship. |

The sexuality of any man who engages in sexual relations with another man is held suspect of being “a homosexual” regardless of conformity or non-conformity to gender conventions. That said however in the popular imagination in the U.S. male homosexuality is often associated with effeminacy. iv Vestida can be roughly translated to mean transvestite. In Mexico the popular imagination often holds that homosexual |
