Abstract
Class and ethnicity represent major obstacles in establishing new forms of homosexual encounters and emotional engagements between Macedonian and Albanian men at the `gay' scene in Skopje. This article pays special attention to the nationalist imperatives that order Macedonian and Albanian `gay' men to use each other's penises and orifices as weapons and targets of torture. More precisely, the article offers a multilevel analysis of a range of social (class, ethnic, and gender) relations, as invested in and experienced in the male body, that prevent Macedonian and Albanian `gay' men from establishing new forms of mutual friendship and love.
