    "London and its multicultural arena provide the socio-geographical niche  for the qualitative analysis of identity processes. In this report I  explore the psychological strategies adopted by migrant gay men to  manage multiple identities. Grounded theory was used to discover  dominant themes emerging from respondents’ narratives about the  interplay between European, national, migrant and gay identities. My  analysis suggests that multiple identities are managed as a form of  resistance against the oppression inflicted by mainstream  heteronormative structures. The ‘self in action’, the major emergent  theme, downplays fixed identities, chooses amongst the available social  scripts, and strives to generate new forms of cultural and social  capital. Despite a favourable socio-political climate, respondents’  narratives reflect the crisis of the London gay community in providing  ‘positive gay visibilities’ that go beyond the commercial scene. The  implications of multiple identities for research, as well as the risks  involved with qualitative analysis of small samples, are also discussed."
