It's also very controversial, and it's on cruising, and it's from the 1970s, which I was just like not expecting at all.
to have this kind of work done then.
Basically, it was a gay sociologist who did his PhD in gay cruising.
Love that.
He published that in 1968 and then wrote a book in the 1970s based on his research.
And he would study men who were cruising.
Again, at that time, these terms like tea rooming and cottaging were popular.
And this is so funny.
So in cruising culture, there is an active role, especially in the past, that was called a watch queen.
And the idea was that you would keep an eye out for police or other people who were not wanting to be engaged.
Oh, my God.
And then you get the voyeuristic aspect.
I'll be watch queen.
You get to watch the hookups, but you're also warning people if somebody's coming.
Wow.
Yeah.
He would basically play that role.
And as he was doing it, he would kind of like document the different demographics and the different things that were going on.
So he was like not necessarily participating, but was acting and not telling people that he was like trying to do research, which we'll get into
That's crazy.
