In Sailors and Sexual Identity, author Steven Zeeland talks with young male sailors - both gay- and straight-identified- about ways in which their social and sexual lives have been shaped by their Navy careers.

Despite massive media attention to the issue, there remains a gross disparity between the public perception of “gays in the military” and the sexual realities of military life. The conversations in this book reveal how known “gay” and “straight” men can and do get along in the sexually tense confines of barracks and shipboard life once they discover that the imagined boundary between them is not, in fact, a hard line.
