In this critical narrative inquiry study, we explored the experience of gay cisgender men in college at the borderlands of social constructionism, critical race theory, and queer theory. Findings included 3 major themes: (a) the salience, tokenization, and centrality of being an "other" in a given space, (b) how performativity varied in different contexts, and (c) navigating competing counterspaces. We intended this study to complicate student development and how practitioners and researchers engage in praxis and research through multiple, (potentially) competing viewpoints.
