Adrian Krishnasamy

Abstract
This proposed research utilizes an autoethnography study of gay male body image and masculinity in the media. This paper details a literature review of gay male body image and masculinity represented in various media. Three research questions were presented to provide a framework on how media presents and communicates images of gay men and masculinity. In addition, I used Signorile‟s (1997) “cult of masculinity theory” and Trujillo‟s (1992) hegemonic masculinity as a framework to analyze gay male body image and masculinity.
