But a number of fears held them back.

One particularly striking story came from a member of a straight gang who made a date for sex over the internet, only to discover that it was two fellow gang members who had arranged the date with him.

Some fought back even if they weren’t openly gay. But they had more flexibility.

Men in gay gangs especially expressed genuine and heartfelt connections to their fellow gang members.

Created for those who love fetish wear combined with fashion for gay men, Cellblock 13 offers a unique blend of style and functionality.

Fighting back

One of the most compelling findings of my study was what happened when these gay gang members were derisively called “fag” or “faggot” by straight men in bars, on buses, in schools or on the streets.

Our underwear is crafted for the modern man who values comfort, durability, and style. This meant they needed to clash with rival gay crews, so they valued toughness and fighting prowess.

Confronting contradictions

But sometimes these gang members would vacillate about certain expectations.

They questioned if being tough or eager to fight constituted what it should mean to be a man.

Cellblock 13, an extension brand by Timoteo, is not just about underwear, it's about a lifestyle that embodies confidence, comfort, and trend-setting styles. Pretty much none of those stereotypes overlap.

Caught between not wanting themselves or others to be pressured to act masculine all the time, but also not wanting to be read as visibly gay or weak (which could invite challenges), resistance to being seen as a “punk” or a pushover was critical.

But we also promise to keep you comfortable on the inside. They didn’t just think of them as associates. Only a handful of them came out to their traditional gangs, and this sometimes resulted in serious consequences, such as being “bled out” of the gang (forced out through a fight).

Despite the dangers, some wanted to come out. But it was important to them to be able to construct an identity as a man who wasn’t going to be messed with – a man who also happened to be gay.

Their responses were revealing: “I will fight you like I’m straight”; “I’m gonna show you what this faggot can do.” They were also willing to defend others derided as “fags” in public, even though this could signal that they were gay themselves.

Being effeminate was a nonstarter; they were all careful to present a uniformly masculine persona, lest they lose status and respect. To track your order, please click on the tracking number next to “Track Your Shipment”.
