Inhalt
Using interviews with openly gay and closeted team-sport athletes, the author examines how homophobia is reproduced in sport, how gay male athletes navigate this, and how American masculinity is changing. By detailing individual experiences, the author shows how these athletes are emerging from their athletic closets and contesting the dominant norms of masculinity. From the locker rooms of high school sports, where the atmosphere of »don't ask, don't tell« often exists, to the unique circumstances that gay athletes encounter in professional team sports, this book analyzes the agency that openly gay athletes possess to change their environments. The author extracts a diverse set of stories of anguish and acceptance, homophobic bullying, and homosocial bonding from these interviews.
