"Good Cake"

An Ethnographic Trilogy of Life Satisfaction among Gay Black Men

Tiffany Yvette Christian

Appalachian State University

This qualitative study involved in-depth interviews with three self-identified gay black men. The purpose of the study was to gain a deeper understanding of how these men defined life satisfaction and to assess their individual levels of life satisfaction. The results indicated that key elements of life satisfaction included self-concept, social integration, and companionship. The studies also revealed the significance of racial identity in their identity formation as gay men.

Key Words: ethnic identity • life satisfaction • black male • gay identity
