Gay cowboy

This movement, which emerged mainly in the Western United States and Mexico, has spread throughout North America.

The main distinctive feature of these men is through their clothing, such as blue jeans with large buckle belts, plaid shirts, riding boots and cowboy hats, among other elements of western fashion.

They claim their own sexual orientation as gay males in an environment that can be sexist, with homophobic and prejudiced attitudes towards homosexuality, where effeminate men are socially less tolerated.
