 Program\, as respondent\n\nThis ethnography begins in a large urban metrop
 olis in the US\, where I compiled the stories and testimonios of 43 LGBTQ 
 homeless youth between the ages of 14-21. In this research I found that LG
 BTQ street youth stories\, despite their broken and fragmented narratives\
 , often connect their life experiences directly to the health and conditio
 n of their own bodies. It is this queer homeless body that is centered in 
 a story of resistance\, as these bodies are highly restricted and containe
 d by teachers\, doctors/paramedics\, social workers and the police. Despit
 e the containment of their bodies\, these LGBTQ street youth consistently 
 create spaces that move them away from the tropes of infection\, contamina
 tion\, and deviant sexualities that are inscripted onto the bodies of quee
 r youth. Using the framework of resistance from the work of Maria Lugones 
 (2003)\, this essay argues that researchers must develop new abilities to 
 see and acknowledge resistance in these tight spaces. The trope of contami
 nation and irresponsibility intersect many of the experiences of LGBTQ str
 eet youth--the discourse of infection\, excessive sexualities\, and the st
 rategies of survival sex--in ways that implicate not only LGBTQ street you
 th\, but also other marginalized bodies.\n\nCo-sponsored by the Center for
  Race & Gender\n
