Analyzing in-depth interviews with 29 Black gay male collegians, we found that participants construct and understand manhood and their masculine identities in one of three ways: (a) accepting, adhering to, and performing traditionally masculine norms, (b) intentionally, or subconsciously, challenging hegemonic notions of Black masculinity through their behaviors and self-beliefs, and (c) recognizing that their masculine identity(-ies) are influenced by other social factors and\u00a0locations. Implications for researchers, counselors, and higher education practitioners are highlighted and recommendations for\u00a0future\u00a0research and theory are provided.<\/p>\n<p>Full article can be found here:<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/www.jstor.org.ezproxy.lib.utexas.edu\/stable\/10.2979\/spectrum.1.2.83?pq-origsite=summon<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Strayhorn, T.
