This paper draws on data generated on the research project: "The HIV Prevention Needs of Young Gay Men". The paper first describes how the young men I worked with came to see themselves as different. The processes concerned put sexuality at the perceived core of identity and drive an imperative to find a way of storying themselves into such an identity. The same processes, however, also serve to build an understanding of homosexuality as deviant. I describe here the difficulties associated with storying oneself in ways which circumvent that construction when alternative versions of what being gay might mean are largely obscured
