Predominately used to describe men who are exclusively or primarily romantically and/or sexually attracted to other men, though "gay" is sometimes used as an identifier by people of all genders or as a collective term. Seen and unseen, gay men have made significant contributions to society, through activism, advocacy, art, science, and culture. Though gay men are sometimes the face of the queer community, they are far from a monolith. They have unique journeys of self-discovery, navigating societal expectations, stereotypes, and discrimination to be seen and understood.

As real and imagined borders separate same-sex partners, the artist considers a new obstacle Gay Latino men face: gay marriage. Intertwined addresses the forbidden love between two men, sometimes complicated by geographic and cultural differences, trapped by an invisible cell that confines yet separates them. The prison-like bars that separate the lovers in the artwork are not only geographic, racial, and cultural but ominously political, highlighting the cross-national restrictions on gay marriage and the difficulties of recognizing same-sex partners within conservative societies.

Influenced by oddly-toned color ads from 1970's fashion magazines, play with the labels men use to describe themselves for "sex hook-ups" internet personal advertisements. Though proudly gay, the butch-top asserts his sexually dominant role as a man, dispelling the commonly-held notion that homosexual men are feminine and passive. His attitude challenges any question of machismo.
