The first time Alex Espinoza got cruised, he felt as if a “mutant power” had been awakened inside him. This new internal radar helped him find secret sex spaces where he uncovered another hidden strength: his dick gave him power over men who might have otherwise rejected a queer Latino man with a disability. Using his special gifts, Alex was able to build his self-confidence and dispel the feelings of shame he says are common for queer people from immigrant families. It also gave him plenty of material for his hit 2019 book “Cruising: An Intimate History of a Radical Pastime”. In this episode, Alex teaches Gabe, Chris, and our listeners what he’s learned from a lifetime of cruising, and offers practical tips for queer cruisers of color and queer cruisers with disabilities. School is now in session. It’s time for CRUISING 301.
