本文为“社会建构主义”分析同性恋社区在“城市复兴”中的作用提供了一个理论和方法框架。我们认为，这一点很重要，既是因为作为一个实质性的研究领域，同性恋者在“城市复兴”中的作用被忽视了，也是因为它突显了克服社会理论中的结构与机构之争的必要性。结构主义者倾向于将文化认同在“城市文艺复兴”中的作用视为一种表象，而意志论者则认为它只代表个人对“生活方式”的选择。分析了同性恋身份的社会结构，并论证了同性恋参与“城市复兴”构成了对特定历史形式的压迫的空间反应的一部分。列举了需要做些什么才能更充分地实施我们的方法。
This paper provides a theoretical and methodological framework for a "social constructionist" analysis of the role of gay communities in the "urban renaissance." We suggest that this is important both because as a substantive area of research the role of gays in the "urban renaissance" has been neglected, and because it highlights the need to overcome the structure versus agency debate in social theory. Structuralists have tended to regard the role of cultural identity in the "urban renaissance" asepiphenomenal, while voluntarists have regarded it as indicative only of personal choices in "lifestyles." An analysis of the social construction of the gay identity is stipulated, and an argument is made that gay involvement in the "urban renaissance" constitutes part of a spatial response to a historically specific form of oppression. An enumeration of what needs to be done to more fully implement our approach is provided.
