In Dino Dinco’s documentary Homeboy (2012), which details the presence of gay Latino men in gangs, Richard Avila, a former gang member originating from Bell Gardens, says homosexual men “are disgusting, and they ought to be shot and killed”; we should “beat the fuck out of them.” Similarly, Cisco Rios, also a former gang member, says, “All the gays and lesbians should be in San Francisco with the gate and be shot.” Despite the ease with which Avila and Rios speak these threats, neither of the two are the original authors of these bigoted statements; rather, Avila and Rios are gay men who formerly participated in gangs and are underscoring the type of violently homophobic intimidation they encountered in gang life. Because of this vicious homophobia, neither Avila nor Rios ever came out to their gangs. In fact, this bigotry caused the two to recede further into the closet and reproduce homophobia as a means of safeguarding their lives. As Avila says, “I think I even said it—[gay men] ought to be shot and killed—and then just hearing shit like that, it was like okay, I’m going way deeper into the closet. I’m hiding under all the dirty clothes down there, and I’m never coming out.” Rios, on the other hand, says that at one point he considered coming out to his “homeboys,” but on hearing their rigid stances that demanded death for gay men, said, “Fuck that. Shit, I’m straight. . . . Coming out at that time? No, no, can’t do it.” Attempting to intervene in the lethally homophobic gang space that Avila and Rios detail, Homeboy features several current and former gang members (the majority of whom identify as gay) who candidly voice their stories of how and why they initially joined gangs, regardless of an environment that refuses to openly tolerate gay sexuality. On meeting the gay former or current gang members on-screen, the viewer notices that, in spite of the deluge of mainstream cultural representations that associate gang members with heterosexuality and hypermasculinity and preempt the conception of gay gang members because of the feminizing connotations affiliated with gay sexuality, these men are equally as intimidating and hypermasculine as their straight gang counterparts. In presenting these simultaneously hypermasculine and gay-identified gang members, Homeboy participates in a recent cinematic trend that has migrated

Entre Maricones y Locos：身份认同，反共和Dino Dinco的Homeboy

在迪诺·丁科（Dino Dinco）的纪录片《家庭男孩》（Homeboy）（2012）中，详细介绍了同性恋黑帮男子在帮派中的身影，来自贝尔花园的前帮派成员理查德·阿维拉（Richard Avila）说，同性恋者“令人作呕，应该被枪杀”。我们应该“击败他们。” 同样，也是前帮派成员的思科里奥斯（Cisco Rios）表示：“所有男女同志都应该在旧金山大门口被枪杀。” 尽管阿维拉（Avila）和里奥斯（Rios）轻描淡写地谈到了这些威胁，但两者都不是这些独断论点的原始作者。相反，阿维拉（Avila）和里奥斯（Rios）是男同性恋者，他们以前曾参加过帮派，并强调了他们在帮派生活中遇到的暴力恐同性恐吓的类型。由于这种恶毒的恐同症，阿维拉（Avila）和里奥斯（Rios）都不曾走出他们的帮派。实际上，这种偏执使两人进一步退缩到壁橱中并繁殖出恐同症，以维护他们的生命。正如阿维拉（Avila）所说：“我想我什至说过-（同志们应该被枪杀），然后只听到那样的屎，那还好，我会更深入壁橱。我躲在那儿所有脏衣服的下面，而且我永远也不会出来。” 另一方面，里约斯（Rios）说，他曾考虑过向“男同性恋者”出来，但在听到他们要求男同性恋者死亡的刻板立场时说，“该死。该死，我是直人。。。。那个时候出来吗？不，不，做不到。” 试图干预阿维拉和里奥斯详细介绍的致命的同性恋帮派空间，Homeboy包括几个现任和前帮派成员（大多数人都以同性恋为特征），他们坦诚地讲述了他们最初以及如何加入帮派的故事，无论环境如何拒绝公开容忍同性恋。观众在屏幕上会见以前的同性恋者或现任的黑帮成员时，观众注意到，尽管主流文化表征泛滥，将黑帮成员与异性恋和超男性气质联系在一起，并且由于与之相关的女性化含义而使同性恋黑帮成员的观念占先。同性恋者，这些男人和异性恋者一样具有威吓和阳刚之气。在介绍这些同时具有超男性气质和同性恋身份的帮派成员时，Homeboy参与了最近的电影风潮 不管环境是拒绝公开容忍同性恋。观看者在屏幕上会见同志前或当前的同性恋帮派成员时，观众注意到，尽管主流文化表征泛滥，使帮派成员与异性恋和男性气概联系在一起，并且由于与同性恋帮派有关的女性化含义而抢占了同性恋帮派成员的概念。同性性行为，这些男人和异性同伙一样具有威吓和阳刚之气。在介绍这些同时具有超男性气质和同性恋身份的帮派成员时，Homeboy参与了最近的电影风潮 不管环境是拒绝公开容忍同性恋。观众在屏幕上会见以前的同性恋者或现任的黑帮成员时，观众注意到，尽管主流文化表征泛滥，将黑帮成员与异性恋和超男性气质联系在一起，并且由于与之相关的女性化含义而使同性恋黑帮成员的观念占先。同性恋者，这些男人和异性恋者一样具有威吓和阳刚之气。在介绍这些同时具有超男性气质和同性恋身份的帮派成员时，Homeboy参与了最近的电影风潮 尽管主流文化的表现形式大量涌现，使帮派成员与异性恋和男性气概联系在一起，并且由于同性恋性行为具有女性化的含义而抢占了同性恋帮派成员的观念，但这些男人与直系帮派同等程度的人一样具有恐吓和阳刚之气。在介绍这些同时具有超男性气质和同性恋身份的帮派成员时，Homeboy参与了最近的电影风潮 尽管主流文化的表现形式大量涌现，使帮派成员与异性恋和男性气概联系在一起，并且由于同性恋性行为具有女性化的含义而抢占了同性恋帮派成员的观念，但这些男人与直系帮派同等程度的人一样具有恐吓和阳刚之气。在介绍这些同时具有超男性气质和同性恋身份的帮派成员时，Homeboy参与了最近的电影风潮
