Globalization and sexual diversity, gays and mariquitas in Andalusia [Globalización y diversidad sexual, gays y mariquitas en Andalucía]

Abstract

Globalization in the field of sexuality has caused processes of expansion in certain models of male homosexuality. Beginning with our research in Andalusia (Spain), we seek to question the uniformity of the gay model as the inevitable end of a historic journey that will lead to a homogenization of sexual identities. We first review the scientific literature on this subject, and afterwards we focus on the social model built regarding the effeminate Andalusian man.
