Ausgangspunkt der Selbstbeschreibungen von schwulen Männern zwischen 60 und 90 Jahren sind ihre biographischen Erfahrungen, die häufig von starker Diskriminierung geprägt sind. Diese haben deutliche Auswirkungen auf gegenwärtige Versuche einer „gelingenden“ Selbstbeschreibung als nicht nur schwuler, sondern (nun) auch älterer Mann.
