Gay skinhead
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Gay skinhead, also known as a gayskin or queerskin, is a gay person who identifies with the skinhead subculture, often (though not necessarily) out of sexual interest.[citation needed]
Some gay skinheads have a sexual fetish for skinhead clothing styles;[citation needed] others have a violence fetish.[citation needed] Some are simply attracted to skinheads' outward displays of masculinity. What they all have in common, is that they adopt skinhead subcultural aspects and are sexually attracted to others who do the same. There are skinheads who happen to be gay, but who do not fetishize the skinhead image. These individuals may prefer not to be referred to as gayskins because of the sexual connotations — and they may not associate with self-identified gayskins for the same reason.
Gay skinheads figure in the work of gay artists such as Canadian painter Attila Richard Lukacs and filmmaker Bruce LaBruce. Gay skinheads have been featured on the catwalks of fashion designers Alexander McQueen and Jean-Paul Gaultier since the early 1990s.[citation needed]
