“I Don’t Like to Say That I’m Anything”: Sexuality Politics and Cultural Critique Among Sexual-Minority Latino Youth

“…These forms of marginalization were expressed in family pressure or rejection when youth came out as nonheterosexual, or different manifestations of violence in school and other social settings. In Foucauldian terms, sexual labeling works as a normalizing mechanism through producing subjectivities that favor dominant norms and values, and confront people with the threat of being devalued or excluded as abnormal (Gatter 1995).

However, postmodernists are highly critical of this ethnographic process and its potential for creating racism, bigotry, and discrimination (Gatter, 1995;Ladson-Billings, 2003).
