Preferred term

geography and/of gays and lesbians  

Definition

  • Gays and lesbians (but mostly gay men) began appearing regularly in Anglophonic geography in the 1970s. A few brave geographers—including Barbara Weightman, Bob McNee, E. M. Ettore, Jacquelyn Beyer, and Bill Ketteringham—wrote and presented papers that sought modestly to document gay spaces and the impacts of gay people on (mostly urban) landscapes.
