Summary

The natural world has been a source of solace for many queer men throuought their lives. It also has played a significant part in queer male history as a key location for cruising. In both of these examples queer men’s place in nature is often transitory and ephemeral. Our stories and presence are gone as nature continues with barely an imprint we were even there. I Wish There Was a Guy Term for I Love You preserves these hidden queer histories and draws attention to the often overlooked importance of nature in queer life.
