title: Women among men: females in the male homosexual community.
abstract: The study uses empirical data to generate a preliminary theoretical analysis of the types of interaction and relationships that exist between male homosexuals on the one hand and lesbians and female heterosexuals on the other. Both males' and females' accounts of why they associate with one another in the male gay community are also examined. Methods appropriate to the description of interaction and the collection of accounts of behavior were used: participant observation and interviewing.
