Estereotipos de masculinidad identificados por la comunidad de adultos emergentes homosexuales de la ciudad de Guayaquil.

Abstract

This exploratory study is performed in order to obtain an approximation of the perspective of the emerging gay community (men 18 to 30 years old from middle class, upper middle) to stereotypes of masculinity. The first part the study focused on identifying stereotypes and its classification as: emerging, decadent or dominant. This was made thanks to an exploratory survey. In the second part of the study we performed a triangular group to achieve th knowledge of how these stereotypes are affected by the entry of an emerging guayaco male. The study concluded that even though the male stereotype remains as a reference, this stereotype is of decadent nature and is slowly evolving to a new concept of masculinity, breaking with hegemonic masculinity concept.
