ABSTRACT
This chapter is grounded in the white racial frame; it critiques the lack of intersectionality in queer spaces, which contributes to white supremacy. The chapter will provide a queer critical race intersectional analysis of race and sexuality. This chapter chronicles racism and other forms of oppression in queer spaces using a critical race composite story. This chapter will serve as a learning tool to better understand the seeming paradox of democratic ideals of equality and the racialized inequalities that characterize both the spoken and unspoken in the gay community. The aim here is to help us better understand how together we can interrupt these exclusionary processes to foster … more robust forms of democratic, inclusionary living and participation within all the communities that make up the larger gay community.
