Being gay-friendly: a comparative study of two gentrified neighborhoods in Paris and New York
What does it mean to be gay-friendly and who is gay-friendly ? Emphasizing the role of age and sex, Sylvie Tissot uses ethnographic fieldwork to question received ideas about acceptance of homosexuality, education and class. While younger people and women express more tolerant views, gay-friendliness may well have become the social marker of a specific group, the liberal upper middle class.
