Examining the mix of race, culture, gender, and sexuality, Multicultural Queer: Australian Narratives explores the lives of gay minorities, mostly Asians, and the challenges they face in trying to establish themselves within a community. Discussing the experiences of individuals who have double or triple minority statuses -- as gay people, as members of ethnic minorities, and/or as women -- this book investigates racial stereotypes and the Australian gay "ideal" which most minorities do not fit.
