Gay Community Attachment has proved a significant predictor of successful behavior change among gay-identifying men in response to HIV/AIDS. Related work at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia, indicated that attachment to gay community is not a simple issue; rather, complex issues of sexual identity formation, the constraints of social inequality and localized sexual cultures inhibit the process of attachment and, therefore, successful HIV prevention. This paper discusses some of the findings from close-focus (qualitative) research on older homosexually active men which explore in depth the dynamic whereby these men attached themselves to gay community in terms of an analysis of class, generation, and the interplay with self-construction and masculinity.
事实证明，同性恋群体归属感是认同自己为同性恋的男性针对艾滋病毒/艾滋病成功改变行为的一个重要预测指标。澳大利亚悉尼麦考瑞大学的相关研究表明，对同性恋群体的归属感并非一个简单的问题；相反，性身份形成的复杂问题、社会不平等的限制以及局部性的性文化抑制了归属感的形成过程，进而阻碍了艾滋病预防工作的成功开展。本文讨论了对年龄较大的性活跃同性恋男性进行的深度（定性）研究的一些结果，该研究通过对阶级、代际以及自我建构与男子气概之间的相互作用进行分析，深入探讨了这些男性融入同性恋群体的动态过程。
