Guided by the perspectives of 50 gay Latino men in college, this qualitative study examines notions of femmephobia within queer communities, the various ways it is manifested, and the effects it has on gay Latinos. Because femmephobia is not an outgrowth nor confined to queer communities, connections to systems of oppression are made. Data stem from interviews and participation in a private social media page with gay Latino men. Through a narrative approach, students’ stories reveal that there is notable femmephobia at varying levels. Themes include: the downplaying of femininity, privileges and desirability of masculine men, the role of machismo and misogyny, and disinterest in femme men as a matter of “preference.” Implications for practice are offered, which are especially relevant to higher education practitioners as they look to support students in a time when queer communities are under attack at local and national levels
