Class differences within the gay community keep gay men separated through fear, historically grounded but unreliable feelings of disgust for other classes, and pressure to conform and participate in a community where we can all be "out" together. Class differences are a major barrier to gay liberation.
In general, working-class men are portrayed as the most raw, the most sexist, the most violent and particularly the most homophobic of all men.
