Gay Men, Identity, and Social Media: The Culture of Participatory Reluctance

2017 | Gender Studies

This book explores identity management practices employed by young gay social media users in the context of convergence between niche sites like Gaydar and more mainstream sites like Facebook. Cassidy considers key public issues such as participatory reluctance, online privacy, and digital equality from the perspective of a demographic currently underrepresented in social media research. The findings provide critical insights for those interested in the trajectory of gay men's digital culture, social networks and LGBT mental health, and the nature of multi-sited identity management in social media more generally.
