| Annotation | As they age, gay and bisexual men are embedded in multiple environments and communities. This article reanalysed data collected as part of a larger qualitative study of crystal methamphetamine use in New York City. Focusing on the migration narratives of 30 racially/ethnically diverse men aged 40 years old and older and recruited from multiple venues, several key areas emerged: ostracisation, lack of affirmation as well as movement activities. Interactively they transformed social practices and increased spaces to explore sexuality, build community engagements and exchange resources. This study suggests that assessment of gay men (and other marginalised groups) may be enhanced through application of migration narratives. (JL). |
