dc.description.abstractThis thesis examines the representations of sex between men in the British Columbia and Washington press from 1866 to 1910. During this period, B.C. and Washington newspapers covered both local and international sex scandals involving men engaging in sex with other men or boys. I explore the way this coverage illustrates that representations of sex between men were intertwined with issues of identity, as the press drew on various identity categories, such as race, reputation and social connections, and age, to position men accused of having sex with other men as either opposed to or in line with national and transnational goals. I argue that, in the press coverage of sex between men, the deviancy associated with men engaging in sex with other men was constantly being negotiated based on the identities of accused men.en_US
