By detailing individual experiences, Anderson shows how these athletes are emerging from their athletic closets and contesting the dominant norms of masculinity. From the locker rooms of high school sports, where the atmosphere of "don't ask, don't tell" often exists, to the unique circumstances that gay athletes encounter in professional team sports, this book analyzes the agency that openly gay athletes possess to change their environments OP - 208 CN - GV708.8 .A43 2005eb SN - 1423744241 SN - 9781423744245 SN - 0791465349 SN - 9780791465349 SN - 9780791482872 SN - 0791482871 SN - 0791465330 SN - 9780791465332 KW - Gay athletes.
