"This article examines the ways the gay protagonists in three Young Adult novels—Leave Myself Behind by Bart Yates (2003), A Time Before Me by Michael Peronne (2005) and Sushi Central by Alasdair Duncan (2003)—and in two films— Prayers for Bobby (2009) and Geography Club (2013)—seek safety in heterotopic spaces. It is argued that heterotopias can provide safe spaces for the expression of same-sex desire among males, subverting the constraints of hegemonic masculinity and the large spatial sites in which they operate."
