Brown and Gay in LA (Asian American Sociology)
Sinopsis
Co-Winner of the 2023 Latino/a Section Best Book
Award, given by the American Sociological
AssociationThe stories of second-generation
immigrant gay men coming of age in Los
AngelesGrowing up in the shadow of Hollywood,
the gay sons of immigrants featured in Brown and
Gay in LA could not have felt further removed
from a world where queerness was accepted and
celebrated. Instead, the men profiled here
maneuver through family and friendship circles
where masculinity dominates, gay sexuality is
unspoken, and heterosexuality is strictly
enforced. For these men, the path to sexual
freedom often involves chasing the dreams while
resisting the expectations of their immigrant
parents8213an finding community in each other.
Ocampo also details his own story of reconciling
his queer Filipino American identity and those
of men like him. He shows what it was like for
these young men to grow up gay in an immigrant
family, to be the one gay person in their school
and ethnic community, and to be a person of
color in predominantly White gay spaces. Brown
and Gay in LA is an homage to second-generation
gay men and their radical redefinition of what it
means to be gay, to be a man, to be a person of
color, and, ultimately, what it means to be an
American.
