Abstract
abstract:Thirteen semi-structured interviews provided qualitative data regarding residential selection by same-sex couples in North Carolina. Ambivalence about queer enclaves, the intersection of life factors, and the social context of neighborhoods were highlighted. The importance of the intersection of race and sexuality was especially prominent in the data. The social meaning of place is considered, including physical symbols such as yard signs, banners, and flags. There was no one grand narrative vis-à-vis sexuality and residential selection, and intersectional approaches are critically important to telling queer stories.
