Homosexual Males within the culture of Metrohair Salon
I. INTRODUCTION
Sex and Gender are concepts not to be static within just the identity of the people in a society. The diversification of both sex and gender comprises a good population of people not of the same features; this offers our society the beauty of being complex. As researchers as we are, we were interested on the observation of a specific culture where there are people who are deviants of the gender spectrum. The common but not as familiar of where this setting can be found is in a Beauty Salon.
In beauty salons, gays cutting and styling hair is a common sight. This fact leads us to the curiosity on how gender is correlated with the stratification of labor, for we have clinched how homosexual men are culturally expected to work in such industries like beauty salons, comedy bars, etc. The stratification through gender does not stop on the position of an individual in a society but also could determine the type of work he or she does. Are they limited or contained in a specific role or to be more specific, with their position in the labor force? Are the cultural expectations that much of an influence on the decision made by homosexual male beautician of their career?
We can also look at the legal and political issues when it comes to homosexuality. In the professional world, the division between the homosexual and the heterosexual are not only evident with their roles inside their respective working place. We can also analyze this divide with their difference in their rights as laborers and their expected income. Many LGBT groups are advocating to create laws and policies that will protect the homosexuals on their work places and to equip them with existing laws and policies for.
Our study occurred within a beauty salon where there were not only homosexuals
