BOBADILLA DOMINGUEZ, Juan de la Cruz. Gay visibility and Public Space in the City of Aguascalientes: Break to Access or Access to Break. Desacatos [online]. 2013, n.41, pp.123-138. ISSN 2448-5144.
The article describes the visibility process of college gay males in the city of Aguascalientes from a strategic approach of the masculinity and identity construction processes which confront the homophobic discourse and practices. This issue highlights the importance of social inclusion to legitimize modern and democratic cities founded on social diversity. The main issue is an approach to identify the elements connecting the public space with gay visibility in Aguascalientes, through interacting testimonies and personal insights of some key characters who were informants of this research. This article sets how gay males integrate negotiation and mediation strategies and actions as a part of their social interactions to enhance the appropriation of social spaces providing gay visibility.
