Lesbian Cruising: An Examination of the Concept and Methods
Abstract
The concept of cruising has typically focused on gay male activity and, as such, has been narrowly focused and limited. This view has reinforced negative stereotypical images of gay men and has devalued women's more subtle styles and longer-term relationships. This paper argues that lesbians do cruise but also problematizes the definition of cruising in lesbian culture. Utilizing observations and in-depth interviews, I have broadened the definition of cruising to include a range of behavior as evidenced in both the lesbian and gay community. I have developed a typology of cruising, highlighting seven styles based on method, whether the individual approaches or not, intent, and investment.

The capacity of queer folx to navigate constitutive silences is paralleled by the ability to navigate visibility and invisibility in public spaces, particularly as evidenced by 'cruising' wherein queer folx navigate precarious but coded acts of public disclosure of their sexuality in search of erotic partners.
“This capacity is paralleled by the ability to navigate visibility and invisibility in public spaces, particularly as evidenced by 'cruising' wherein queer folx navigate precarious but coded acts of public disclosure of their sexuality in search of erotic partners (Bullock 2004;Humphreys 1970;Leap 1999).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
